Hi all
back again briefly as broadband down (grr!) still but just a quickie since my friend has just had a baby and the baby is pretty yellow (about a week old now). Milk took a while to come in but seems to be feeding well.
Midwife has advised them to give extra water in bottles but I'm not sure about this - is it recommended? I worried that it might cause nipple confusion and perhaps supply probs if baby's having water when needs to be building up the milk supply. Or am I wrong?
And if it is not recommended, how do I talk to my friend about it without undermining her (wait and see if she asks or just pile in there?!) Or just leave it alone and don't interfere?
