No Vipra, till <u>your</u> baby is 6 months old, mothers milk is providing all the required nutrients... Including water... Please avoid giving water at 3 months to safeguard against any stomach bug.

I was suggested the same, however instead of doing that I followed the advice of mom's present on Babychakra... I was told to increase the frequency of my feeds and that is taking care of everything... Mother's milk is 88% water so baby can't get dehydrated at all as long as baby is well <u>fed</u>

No Vipra, Don’t give water. Instead breastfeed more to keep the baby hydrated.

No dear please don't..water only after six months..your breastmilk has all that the baby needs even water..even doctors suggest giving water only after six months
