Month 4 Worry: When to Give Baby Water or a Sippy Cup Doctors generally recommend that parents: Introduce water at about four months of age. Remember that the cornerstone of an infant’s diet is breast milk or formula until one year of age. That said, extra water in a sippy cup is good for practice beginning at four months of age. Water intake is really unlimited, but most babies will get off to a slow start volume-wise (less than four ounces daily). I recommend no fruit juice at this time, not even 100 percent natural juices.

Is My Baby Ready for a Cup? Once your child understands what the cup is for and has a bit of a grip on how to use it, you can start to add other fluids like expressed breast milk or formula. Once your child is 6 months old, you can start to offer some juice. Just be careful -- 4 ounces or so is the limit (that's just 1/2 cup) for the entire day. Giving more juice can lead to problems like cavities and diarrhea. You may also find that your baby will stop eating all the healthy food you offer.

Can I Give My Baby Bottled Water? With so many choices—pure, distilled, mineral, tap—how do you know which to choose? First off, it is important to know that babies do not need water alone. Before your child is over six months of age, he or she does not need to consume any supplemental water or juice. All of the liquid your child needs to be healthy and to quench thirst is their regular consumption of breast milk or formula. Giving your baby water before they are six months of age could result in an over-consumption of water, or water poisoning. Even after your child is six months of age, they still do not need to consume much supplemental fluids.
