Giving anything other than breast milk adds the possibility of infections as well as can fill the baby with low Nutrition or zero Nutrition items and this will interfere with breast feeding. Please do not give water to the baby till you start solids at around six months.

no need to give water.. u can give it once you will start the solid food. Breastmilk is already having water

Hi Deepa. It is best to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months

Water is not needed until baby is having solid food. Breast milk has all the sufficient nutrients
