Plain water

Hi mummies, did you give water to your baby below 6 months ? Mil ask to give my 3 weeks old baby water, but I heard water isn’t good for baby below 6 months.

Water should not be given till 6 months..but some may give even at 5 months but with paediatrician advice otherwise I would not suggest giving water to a baby. Since Breastmilk contains 88% water you need not feed anything else other than BM till 6months and need not worry about baby being dehydrated. If you have any doubt you can ask the paediatrician since he knows the health of baby very well. Do as the doc suggest.
