Advice needed please

Hi ladies,

My daughter is 16 weeks old. I have recently given up breastfeeding and she is having 5 formula feeds of 7 ozs per 24 hours. Should she be having some water too or not? I know that they don't need water with breast milk as it's all there but with formula what do I do?
Thanks in advance for anyone that replies

Hi there,

The only time I've ever given Ethan cool boiled water was when the weather was really hot. That was on the advice of my HV. I don't think you need to give them it on a daily basis, I think they probably get enough water through the formula!
