Water below six months
My baby is formula fed and takes enfamil stage1. Current age two months and takes two ounce milk in 60ml water. Do I need to give water? Many are saying since FM baby, so water is required. But as per my knowledge no water should be given before 180 days. Should I give water? If yes, then how much water should I give?

dont need water below six months; 60ml milk every 2 hourly is sufficient for this baby; u can also get an idea if baby is getting sufficient milk, by noticing if baby is passing urine more than 4 times in 24 hours
