It took forever for the link to pull up, so yes, I’m commenting without reading it. I don’t think the warning is telling people not to give infants “water” that is mixed with other things (e.g., formula, rice cereal), they are stating that you shouldn’t give an infant under 6 months old water as a thirst satisfier because they should be having breast milk or formula at that age in order to meet their nutritional needs.

Now, if you’re having a heat wave & your kiddo is sweating, he/ she won’t keel over if you give him 3 oz of water.

I.e., don’t attempt to replace your child’s main food source with water.

“I.e., don’t attempt to replace your child’s main food source with water.”
