water

If the baby is exclusively breastfed for 6mos and started eating solids, can we now give her water? Should it be mineral, distilled or boiled water?

Once the baby starts to take some solid, we need to give some boiled warm water. Firstly, it is for digestion. Secondly, it is for the baby to get used to drinking water and not rejecting the taste. Thirdly, it is to 'rinse' her mouth.
