Question
“What should a 6-month-old baby use to drink water with? They are not feeling well, and I want to know how a 6-month-old baby should drink water properly.”
Answer
“When a baby reaches 6 months old, it is recommended to start trying to get them used to drinking water from a cup. Although 6 months is generally considered the best time for a baby to transition from a bottle to using a cup, each baby needs time to adjust to this change. Sometimes, when switching from formula, a baby may experience diarrhea or loss of appetite, and it is important to treat these symptoms promptly. It is advised to provide the baby with a balanced diet, including fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, and supplement with various vitamins to enhance their immunity, promoting a quicker recovery.
