How much water should baby drink daily? Water amounts by age
⚡ Short answer: Ages 6-12 months: water is supplementary; about 60-120 ml daily, as baby drinks—don't force it; clear yellow urine and 4-5 wet diapers daily show baby's getting enough.

We started solids and I'm giving water but I don't know how much baby needs. What's the daily water amount by age?

It's very natural to wonder about water amounts when you're newly giving solids. Between 6-12 months, breast milk or formula remains the main liquid source; water is just supplementary. General guideline: about 60-120 ml (roughly 4-8 tablespoons) daily, or as much as baby drinks when thirsty. No need to force it—baby's kidneys are still small and too much water can upset mineral balance. If urine is pale yellow and there are at least 4-5 wet diapers daily, baby's getting enough. If there's diarrhea, constipation, or very hot weather, you can increase slightly, but don't overdo it.
