how old does a baby need to be before you give them water
With so many choicesâpure, distilled, mineral, tapâhow do you know which to choose? First off, it is important to know that babies do not need water alone. Before your child is over six months of age, he or she does not need to consume any supplemental water or juice. All of the liquid your child needs to be healthy and to quench thirst is their regular consumption of breast milk or formula. Giving your baby water before they are six months of age could result in an over-consumption of water, or water poisoning. Even after your child is six months of age, they still do not need to consume much supplemental fluids.
