FF mums - do you give your baby water?

AC81 · Mar 17th, 2009, 16:53 PM

when you are ff-ing do you give your baby extra water to drink? I've read that some people do...is it necessary? Do they need it?

I dont... but she had banana once and got constipated so I gave her some water and juice.

I didn't give water until she was fully weaned (5.5 months)

only if she seems constipated

I give Patrick water if he is rooting for food shortly after he has been fed, Hes quite a warm baby and does tend to sweat so i think he looses fluid that way. I only give him a oz at a time and he enjoys it.

I dooo, Jack seems to get constipated easily so I give him about 3oz of water a day with a little bit of gripe water mixed in.

I started giving him water when he was 8weeks because of the weather. It was so warm outside, and I gave him water throughout the day to make sure he wouldn't get thirsty. xx
