Does anyone give water to their baby?
A teaspoon few times a day. I'm sure it's fine in these quantities.
I know some moms are advised to give their babies a little but to help with constipation. Mine doesnt though. I never gave my ods water either until we were well into solids.
Just curious PP. why would you give your LO an ounce of water when they are hungry and then give them formula? Why not just give an ounce of formula since it has nutrients and water together? No judgement. Just curious as to why...
my pedi always said thats something they did generations ago, and that there is plenty of water in formula & BM these days & water is not needed,even in the summer
However, my son only BMs every 4-5 days... so, if water would helphim be more regular, its worth a try?!?!
TTC Baby #1 since 07/2009, 1st MC @ 6wks in 08/10. 2nd MC @ 8wks in 10/11. beautiful baby boy born 9/15/12. he is totally worth the wait! <3
I was told to start with 1/2oz of prune juice + 1/2oz water once a day. And since he was having issues and was in pain while pushing to go up to 1oz of both. If he goes regularly I go back down to 1/2oz. My little boy LOVES it! He gets so excited when see's the bib!
And it's better then plain water bc it's 100% natural organic juice with water.
Im curious to know why you would give your lo water to see if their hungry and then give them formula if your lo drinks all the water also?
Also it's completely unnecessary.
