Hiya all

Given that it is boiling outside, how do I know when to give dd water and when to give milk?

Yday, she had 7oz when she woke, 8 oz at 10am, 8 oz at 2pm, two bottles of 7 oz at about 4, 7 oz at 5pm and then 8 oz at bedtime!! All on top of her food

That is much more than she normally drinks so I'm guessing some of that was thirst. I did try giving her water but she wasn't overly interested apart from a few sips here and there.

Don't mind giving her the milk but am concerned about 'overfeeding' - if that is even possible??

Thanks wise ones

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
