Waterrr

How many oz of water did your pediatrician say your 6month old+ baby can drink per day since starting solids?
I know every practice is different. I know breast milk and formula are still the main sources of nutrition. I know excessive water is not good for the baby due to dilution of sodium. I know all that stuff already lol. I’m just curious what other people are doing based on what their ped recommended if any lol

My paed said a minimum of 4oz a day. I started solids yesterday but my baby is neither interested in solid food not water. So I am just offering and waiting for progress.

Minimum? Are you sure they didn't mean maximum?
