1) 7-Month Vaccine Delay
Yes, delaying by 1 week is absolutely okay.
A short delay (few days to 1–2 weeks) does not reduce vaccine effectiveness.
Just make sure you complete it as soon as possible.
- Do not delay for months without reason.
- No need to restart the schedule if delayed by a week.
2) Can we give plain warm water to a 6.5-month baby?
Yes
After 6 months, babies can be given small amounts of water.
How much?
20–30 ml (2–3 small sips) after feeds
Total per day usually 60–120 ml max
Do not replace milk with water
Water is mainly:
A. To help with solids
B. Prevent constipation
C. Keep hydrated in hot weather
Breastmilk/formula is still the main nutrition till 1 year.
3) Can we breastfeed immediately after solids?
Yes.
Absolutely.
In fact, the correct order is:
Give solids first
Then breastfeed
Breastfeeding after solids:
A. Helps baby swallow properly
B. Ensures adequate nutrition
C. Comforts baby
Till 1 year, milk remains the primary nutrition, solids are complementary.
