How much water should a 6-month-old drink per day?
⚡ Short answer: A 6-month-old should drink no more than 30-60 ml (2-4 teaspoons) of water per day, because more can stress the kidneys and reduce milk intake.

How much water should a 6-month-old drink per day — my first baby and I have no idea, can you help?

With your first baby, this question is very natural. For a 6-month-old just starting solids, here's the answer: if solids are brand new (6 months), breast milk or formula still meets most of your baby's fluid needs. A few sips — totaling 30-60 ml (2-4 teaspoons) per day — of water with meals is enough. More can stress tiny kidneys and reduce milk intake.
Boiled, cooled drinking water is fine. If your baby is constipated or it's very hot, you can offer a little more, but try not to go over 120 ml a day. Plain water is enough.
