Babies drinking water

[Jsantos]

I have heard mixed reviews about this and wanted to know if anyone feeds their babies a little bit boiled cooled down water in between feeds etc to keep them hydrated and help with going for a poo?

What age? Breast feed or formula feed? Are they struggling to poo?

How old is baby? Breast or formula? Is it hot currently?

You should only give water to a formula fed baby when it is hot, if they’re constipated you need to see your gp, not try home remedies. Unless baby is over 6 months old, then water is ok.

Breast milk is perfectly suited to quench your baby's thirst, no matter what the ambient temperature is or if they have a temperature etc. What makes you think your little one might need water?
