When can my baby start drinking water, and how much is okay?

Many parents wonder about whether or not it's safe to give their babies water. Generally speaking during the first six months of life the main form of fluids for your baby should be formula and breast milk. Giving them large amounts of water during this time when they're small infants can actually cause harm. Once you've started introducing solid foods into their diet it's okay to give them sips of water here and there especially if you're out in the hot weather. Make sure to check with the pediatrician about how much is too much for your baby based on their age and weight. If you have any other questions for me feel free to ask them on our Facebook page and recommend us to your friends and family too.
