what I understood from KKH PD is absolutely no-no feeding babies below 6mths with water in case water got into their developing lungs, causing infection. as the rest mentioned, breastmilk and/or formula should suffice.
I let my baby sip warm water since nb to rinse the mouth and clear throat less than 50ml a day. I started weaning at 5 month so she drinks about less than 100ml water a day
Nope, I will only give water once he starts solid and if so, only sips. Breastmilk or formula should still be main source for hydration till 1 yo
Recommend 6m to drink water. Cos milk is enough for below 6m. I started at 6m... I gave a few spoons first. Then slowly increase.
Nope, I will only feed water after 6 months as I read that their lung is developing.
No I don’t. I only started feeling after LO starts solid which is after 6 mo
Bm or formula is sufficient for babies below 6mo. Water only after 6mth
Nope. Just breast milk or formula is sufficient.
I didnt. Sometimes its just choke on saliva
I didn't till my boy reach 6months
