Hiya, have a quick question about giving Brady cooled boiled water. I had been giving him about 2oz a day as he was constipated on SMA and he seemed to need it more and more to help him poo, but it was going longer and longer between dirty nappies so the doctor said it might be time to try a different brand. He's been on Cow and Gate for about a week now and it's made a big difference, he goes every day now and makes much less fuss about it.
I haven't given him any water for 2 days now and he's still been having dirty nappies, but do I still need to give him a little bit of water? Some people say that they shouldn't need it and others say formula fed babies need it, but I cant ring the HV til Monday to see what they say so just wondered if anyone else knows?
I probably sound a bit thick but I have no idea how to tell if he is dehydrated from his soft spot, I mean ... it's soft so seems to go in a bit but he has so much hair that I cant actually see if it's sunken or not!
