Water Babies

I didn't know babies under six months old shouldn't have water so I thought other people might not know either and might need to know with warmer weather coming on. Experts warn parents that babies should never have water but should get all their hydration from milk or formula as giving them water takes up room in their small stomachs that is needed to absorb enough nutrition. If that isn't bad enough water can also lead to water intoxication which creates an imbalance of electrolytes that can cause kidney failure,swelling of the brain and seizures. So keep the adults hydrated with water but give the babies milk instead, up to a year old.
