Boiled water?
Can you give your baby boiled water at 5 months? My little boy is on antibiotics and constipated too and I wondered if you can give them boiled water or not because all I’ve heard is after 6 months. Thanks in advance

I’ve always heard that formula fed babies can have cooled boiled water when constipated. Only an oz or 2 a day. Not sure about breastfed babies though x
Sorry not sure about the boiled water but try gripe water x
Check with your GP. If they say no they can probably prescribe a laxative to counter act the constipation from the antibiotics.
I’ve been given my little boy an ounce of water when constipated and it helps really well! We got given the go ahead by a health visitor x
Dr have me th go ahead to give small bit of boiled water when my baby was constipated from Gaviscon at 1 month.we are EBF too, the doctor said it very casually and said it’s totally fine when needed 😊
My hv said to try cooled boiled water for my boys constipation. I said the same thing about the 6months and she said it's absolutely fine as will only be about an ounce and will help him go.
