A member asked:

At what age is it safe to give a child his her water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask your peds: Usually once they start having baby food, about 2-3 meals a day, they can have some between 2-4 ounces per day. This usually happens at about 5-6 months. ITs important to note that formula and breast milk has lots of water already in it. Baby food esp. fruit based, will have water as well.
