Help on baby 8 months
My 8 month old baby is not breastfeed as of earlier. She is showing less interest..mostly she is taking only to sleep.. and it's hot here 40° and her head really sweats when sleeping.. her urine is too reduced due to that.. what to do? How much water to give? As I was breastfeeding so I used less water to give her more nutrition through milk

Hi. You can 100-200ml water per day along with breastfeeds.
Now your baby is 8 months old needs semi-solid foods for nutrition and breastfeeding alone will not help.
Start with khicdi, dalia for additional calories.
