No! No water to be given until after 6months when they start solids as it can cause water intoxication, the signs of which include grogginess, confusion, drowsiness, twitching and seizures. Medical professionals say that drinking too much water especially in children under the age of one, may dilute a baby’s normal sodium levels and can lead to seizures, coma, brain damage and even death.Also, water contains empty calories, which means that supplementing your young infant with it will fill him up without adding calories. This can result in insufficient weight gain or even weight loss.
Nope. No water should be given for newborn before 6 months or starting solids. Babies’ stomachs are still very small. Water will make them full but It’s empty calories.
Please don’t, dear. Water should never be given to babies below 6 months old. Baby may get malnutrition, diarrhoea, etc.
Its not advisable to give water for babies below 6months old. BM or formula fed is enough.
Nope. You are not advised to do that. Babies below 6 months have to be solely on milk.
Nope. It’s a big No No to give water to babies less than 6 months old
Not advisable. Please wait until after 6 months old at least.
