as for the WHI guidelines any baby till
six months of age that is either term or
preterm baby requires only breast milk
it contains all the nutrients which her
baby requires till this age so if we did
not give any other water or any other
particular medicines as such but however
if the baby has any problems like
gastroenteritis of course the
pediatrician will be prescribing you
with the oral rehydration fluids or any
other medicines as of required for that
situation so the baby can take that a
baby is said to be exclusively breastfed
only if the baby takes the breast milk
along with if any medications if it is
required so at any particular age before
six months you need not give any water
or any other fluids of any matter
