A member asked:
Is it okay to give my 2 month old baby some water ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: Giving a baby small amounts of water won't harm him or her, but either formula or breast milk has nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and calories that water just doesn't. It also has enough water to satisfy the baby's water needs. Hope this helps!
