A member asked:
When can an infant have water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When starting sippy: A great time to give free water is when you start trying out the sippy cup at 6 months or so. Up until then pt should be getting nutrition through the bottle, either breastmilk or formula. Once pt start solids between 4-6 months and volume of milk goes down, can start giving a little free water (2-4 oz total)
