Water

Newborns and young infants get all the water they need from breast milk or formula. Too much water is dangerous for infants under 4 months, so we do not recommend giving water or watering down formula or breast milk.

When babies are over 4 months of age and start eating foods, you can begin to offer water in a cup.
