When do you start giving your newborn water?

Question

My baby is 3 weeks

Answer

You don't give infants water it can cause intoxication resulting in brain swelling, seizures, and death. A sip around 6 months is ok but never more than that.

They shouldn't have anything except breastmilk or formula until at least 6 months.

You don't need to give them water at all!

You don't!!!

They can start "trying" water with small meals starting at 6 months, only because you are sippy cup training. However, water should not be given consistently until they are close to 1 year.

Give it to them when they start solid food. So around 6 months.

Nooooo! Please don't give your infant water. Only formula or breastmilk until 6 months 😳

Answer

We gave my nephew water at 3 weeks to help him poop but it's not recommended until 6-12 months.

Answer

We have given out daughter water once on dr recommendation when she had a sickness bug and was refusing milk and becoming dehydrated. She was 5 months and a week. She hasn't had any since and won't again until we start weaning her properly when she is just over 6 months old.
