Water

There is enough water in formula and breast milk to meet your babies needs, so no extra water is really needed. It may be offered during hot weather or when baby is ill.

Once your baby starts eating solid foods, he may require more water. Around age 6 months, as you introduce solids, you may give 2-4 ounces of water daily. We recommend introducing this in a sippy cup, to work on developing those motor skills.
