Breast milk is best: Young children have specific requirements for what they can and can't drink. Until 6 months we recommend they take only breast milk or formula. These contain the perfect balance of salts, nutrients and water. Keep an eye out for increased fussiness, fatigue, jerking movements and changes in urine.
