When can babies drink water? Humans need water to survive, but did you know that babies under 6 months don’t ever need to drink a drop of it? Babies' inner workings are quite different to an adult’s, which means they can’t eat and drink the same things grown-ups do. Even a couple of ounces of water can pose major health problems!
According to the World Health Organization, babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of their life. If they can’t be breastfed, formula will suffice. Even in the hottest months of the year, babies can remain hydrated from their daily breast milk or formula intake. So how much harm can water do to a baby’s insides? A lot!
