I've given water to my boy when he's like at 1 month plus or even younger. I read that why water wasn't encouraged is coz they don't know how to control/differentiate and may over drink and getting less milk which has more nutrients in it for them. I gave it to my boy coz of hiccups so 10ml will be enough

NO!! Water doesn't have any nutrition!. Water only will make the baby's stomach is full and less drink water. is also no good for her kidney. I know this from PD specialist nutrition. and my gyne also mentions no need to give water when baby hiccup just makes her burp is enough. ♥️

I’m not giving unless if he needs it like he got fever from the vaccination

Sometimes only I gave a water to my baby but mostly milk only

No. You are not supposed to give baby water before 6 months.

Yes I did, just about 3 ml every after breastfeeding.

Giving water to baby before 6 months is not recommended

Mostly breastmilk, but I did give water occasionally

Super Mum

If breastfeeding then no need to give water

Yes i did at 5 months old, doctor approved
