when is it OK to start giving my baby water ?

How old?!

not until baby can have solid foods. so about 6 months old.

@nichole_lynn @wright5 OK thank u he's 5 days old I was just curious

also cuz my bfs mom is tryna give him baby water or tell me to give it to him. I never knew there was "baby" water

the baby water or nursery water is for making bottles of formula, its purified water basically. no harsh chemicals, like water that comes out of the sink @starr408 and at a young age water can hurt a babies bran apparently. (I just learned this)

Water at the age is ot recommend...

Not**

I was always told to wait a year. Stick to strictly Breastmilk/formula even past 6 months when they can eat solids.

Water can cause the abdomen to swell and kill the child. And even after 7 months should not be used in place of formula or breast milk.

my sons 10 months old and I still worry about giving him water lol new studies show it can drown their brain or some crazy stuff @dcb012

It mostly affects their stomachs however. Causing internal swelling and damage.

It causes water intoxication which can lead to seizures and coma. That then can affect the brain @nichole_lynn. It fills them up too much without satisfying the hunger. Poisoning the baby.

3 months is okay to give him baby water no need for that extra shit pple telling you lol honestlyyyy
