You can start offering water once baby starts solids (around 6 months). The 4 oz max is just a limit, not a goal — most babies only take a few sips at first.
The easiest way: • Offer a small amount (like 1–2 oz) in a straw cup or open cup • Give it during or right after meals • Don’t replace breastmilk/formula — that’s still their main hydration
At this stage it’s more about practicing drinking skills than actual hydration 😊
