when are you allowed to give a baby water
Advice is not to give them water until 6months old, unless advised by hv etc as they get all they need from milk. Also its quite common for newborns to get lots of hiccups (don't think giving water would stop those), DD did just like she did before she was born! 18-01-11, 20:08 #5. Lesley L(60) View Profile.
