When to Introduce Water to Babies

When babies turn 6 months, the new world of food and water becomes introduced! At six months, babies are able to have water in small doses.

It’s extremely important that you do not give your baby a lot of water at this age. They should only be having around 1-2 ounces of water after a meal.

Too much water can lead to complications such as diluting their blood and lowering their sodium levels. Also, it’s important to make sure the water is clean and well filtered.

Your baby will still get their main source of hydration from breast milk or formula, however introducing water in an open cup is great to help them get used to it! *This content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.* #lemon8partner #babiesoflemon8 #water #momtips #startingsolids #6montholdbaby #babyledweaning #blwtips #firstimemom
