Water: When to Offer Your Baby Water and How Much

#24: How much water should my baby drink? Do babies even need water? And if they do need water, when and how is the best way to give babies water?

 

In this episode we’re diving deep into your baby’s fluid needs. Breastmilk and/or formula meets the majority of baby’s water needs, plus the foods your baby is learning to eat contribute fluid too.

 

Adding extra water to your baby’s diet can be a problem. In this episode I map out the two primary problems with adding additional water too early…but also show you when you do add water, an easy way to make sure you’re offering your baby enough but not too much water.
