The main source of water for a 6-month-old baby comes from breast milk or follow-up formula. For babies newly starting solids, about 60–120 ml (approximately 2–4 tablespoons) per day can be given alongside meals or occasionally. Never force the amount; if the baby doesn't want it, don't insist, because too much water can both disrupt salt balance and fill the stomach where it should be filled with milk. Giving just a few sips in a cup or open cup during first solid meals builds the habit. If your pediatrician hasn't recommended a different amount for any special situation (constipation, hot weather, illness), this range is sufficient.
