Our 8 month old baby is exclusively breastfed and we have been adding in some baby led weaning type solids for a few months. I am currently sitting here feeling like the worst mum ever as for some reason I didn’t realise he would also need extra water by now. I’ve just been giving him his usual feeds whenever he wants and trying some solids. I’ll be sorting out a sippy cup from today but I am really beating myself up over this that I’ve been dehydrating my child. He has plenty of wet nappies and I breastfeed on demand.
Can anyone offer some gentle words of reassurance to a mum who is feeling very guilty 😢😢😢😢
