dear my baby is 8 month old and I have stared giving him 2 or 3 spoon water. u should wait till 6 month for plain water. I am breastfeeding feeding so there is not so much need for plain water. my doc has advised now to start liquid intake too.

120 ml is fine .. not more than that ... if she likes to drink water u can very well give her . babies know what to drink ..

plain water in between food is important after u start weaning food 2 to 3 tablespn 15min after each feed . Till 6 mnth thr is no need for extra water as this requirements gets from breastmilk . plain water is considered separately excluding water used to prepare food . as babies shd be familiar wt water

formula feed is different from breastfeed.. so u can start water . go as your baby demand. weather is changing, babies sweat alot in summers, they need water.
