With it been hot should I giv her sum water in-between feeds? Xx
 
Our HV told us we should be giving him an ounce of water everyday, but i've no idea if that's right. Everyone seems to think different when it comes to giving them water. :shrug:
 
I have given LO a bit between feeds since day 1.. Only an ounce spread through the day, just to moisten her mouth a bit & stop her being constipated. Xx
 
I've just started giving my LO some water too and was curious as to the amount. Should he have some before every feed?

At that age my LO was feeding every 3 hours so i gave it about an hr after a feed. Just a small amount though. Xx
 
Monitor what your giving. No more than an oz a day, only on very hot days, or if constipated.
Google water intoxication
 
I give my lo a couple of sips when he is constipated or on very hot days - not very often tbh.

I also give it after feeds - straight before feeds might affect how much milk is taken.
 
It's recommended not to give your LO water before 6 months. They get all the hydration they need from formula. But yes, giving your LO too much water can cause water intoxication and put them off their feeds.:flow:
