A member asked:
Can i give little sips (30 ml/ day) of fresh tender coconut water to my 4 and a half month baby girl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ?: An infant at that age needs nothing other than breast milk to thrive. Kids at that age do not relish special tastes ( they have poor taste bud function) but any strange material can set of an allergic reaction & trigger enough vomiting/diarrhea to cause dehydration. Do so at your own (or babies)risk.
