So some moms ask, "When can their new baby drink water?" Usually you don't want to give your baby water until he or she is about 6 months old. And then even after 6 months, baby only requires just sips of water until about 1 year old whenever baby's tolerating whole milk and eating solid foods, then they can drink as much water as they want. What you really want to pay attention to is how well hydrated the baby is. So you base baby's hydration on how many diapers they use in a 24 hour period. They're getting plenty of water through breast milk, and then after 6 months, the foods that you feed them. Most babies go through about 6 diapers a day, and what you also want to pay attention to is the color of the urine that's in the diaper. If it's watery-looking and clear, or just light yellow, that's good. If it's apple juice color or dark yellow, then you want to be concerned that your baby's not getting enough fluid and you might want to talk to your pediatrician about that.
