Bottles of Water

[bbensley]

Have been advised to try giving DD cooled boiled water in between feeds. Have tried but she's not interested. Any ideas on how to make it more tempting? She is 8 weeks old.

Fair enuff ty
I'm always ok if I can find conformation of what my instinct is telling me either in a book or from another mum. I use the 'smile agree ignore' technique the rest of the time
