1) 7-Month Vaccine Delay Yes, delaying by 1 week is absolutely okay. A short delay (few days to 1–2 weeks) does not reduce vaccine effectiveness. Just make sure you complete it as soon as possible. - Do not delay for months without reason. - No need to restart the schedule if delayed by a week. 2) Can we give plain warm water to a 6.5-month baby? Yes After 6 months, babies can be given small amounts of water. How much? 20–30 ml (2–3 small sips) after feeds Total per day usually 60–120 ml max Do not replace milk with water Water is mainly: A. To help with solids B. Prevent constipation C. Keep hydrated in hot weather Breastmilk/formula is still the main nutrition till 1 year. 3) Can we breastfeed immediately after solids? Yes. Absolutely. In fact, the correct order is: Give solids first Then breastfeed Breastfeeding after solids: A. Helps baby swallow properly B. Ensures adequate nutrition C. Comforts baby Till 1 year, milk remains the primary nutrition, solids are complementary.

1. You can delay the vaccines by 1 week. It's safe till then. 2. You can give normal water room temperature to 6.5 month baby. You can give approx 40-80ml per day. Ideally 3-4 spoon water you can give 5-6 times a day. 3. There is no issues is breast feeding after feeding solids but better to give water.
Next Steps
start giving water in spoons after each solid feess. also in between feeds you can give water.
