Eh... Before that I also say no cause alot of people say no. But I went to see my family dr my child got stomach flu and down with fever. He asked me to feed my child more water. My child only 3-4 months. He told me I formula feed can. Unless I breastfeed don't. So I also don't know. 🙄

Milk n water is two different things. Then why not feed ur lo alcohol too since its also a liquid? Lol common sense not found

No you have to wait until the baby is at least 6 months old when his digestive system is ready to take in plain water well.

Hey, Until the baby is 6 months old, only provide breastmilk and formula milk to the baby

Super Mum

No he can’t. Only breast milk or infant formula milk, till he’s 6 months old.

If u wanna kill ur lo pls feed him water. 3 weeks for goodness sake

Best to wait after six months or so or consult your pediatrician...

your baby shouldn't drink water until he's about 6 months old

Wait until 6m or unless instructed by a medical professional

Super Mum

Nope. They don't need to until they start on solids.

Wait till after 6 months. 3 weeks is still young.
