Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern
Baby is to be exclusively breastfed till 6 months of age and complementary feeding is to be started only after that as babies intestines can easily digest only milk till age of 6months.
In case you are giving formula feed than you can give water as well...
Hope this helps.
God bless....
