Question

Should warm water be added to the juice when feeding a two-month-old baby to dilute it?

Answer

For a two-month-old baby, it is recommended to add a small amount of warm water to the juice to avoid its high acidity. Since the baby’s digestive system is not fully mature, introducing complementary foods too early may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the best time for introducing complementary foods is between four to six months of age. If the baby’s breast milk or formula milk supply is sufficient, there is no need to add other foods. If you are concerned about insufficient fluid intake, you can give the baby some water. Please follow the advice of a pediatrician to ensure the healthy growth of the baby, thank you.
