Quick question: how much water does a 6-month-old baby drink?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

At 6 months, when your baby is just starting solids, breast milk or formula is still his main fluid source. Water needs are tiny — just a few sips (around 30–60 ml a day) after meals or as a separate small feeding. Too much water can reduce how much milk he drinks and, rarely, affect his sodium balance, so don't worry if he only drinks a little — babies naturally don't drink too much. Your pediatrician can give you a more specific amount based on your baby's growth and how many solid foods he's eating.
