I have an EBF 4.5 month old who has recently spaced out his feeds to every 4 hrs (if I offer the breast more frequently he pushes it away and shrieks like I'm trying to murder him...)
I was advised by a nurse to offer him cooled boiled water in between feeds to keep him hydrated (note we live in a very hot country). Is this right? I thought if he was thirsty he'd ask to feed from me.
