Can you give water to a 4 month old?

Yes, but not of the H2O variety. Your little one — if under 6 months old — should be receiving both nutrition and hydration from breast milk or formula, not water. You probably know this, but you might not know why. It’s because babies’ bodies aren’t suited for water until several months after birth. Feb 24, 2020
