Is it safe to give water to a premature baby who is 1 month and 20 days old?

Question

Can I start giving my premature baby, who is 1 month and 20 days old, water to drink? I want to ensure their safety and well-being.

Answer 1

No, baby do not require water before 6 months of age 

They already get water from the breast milk or formula they consume as it is made up of 80% water. 

Water is not recommended for infants under six months old because even small amounts will fill up their tiny bellies and can interfere with their body's ability to absorb the nutrients in breast milk or formula

Answer 3

Babies Don't need water until 6 months of age. Plus your baby was born premature, so his/her digestive system would still be very under developed. Consult your pediatrician and always go by baby's adjusted age. 

I have a premature baby too.
