She has been non stop screaming today and so I resorted to taking her in the bath with me to sooth her. She fed in the bath and then weeed on me and her wee was so dark - got me thinking. She woke all last night and was wriggly and unsettled and chomping on boob constantly. I fed her 3 times each side in the bath and then she went sleepy so let her fall asleep on my bed wrapped in her bath towel. While she was asleep I decided I'd give her a bottle of water on waking. She has just gulped about 90z of boiled water which has just shocked me!

She is BLW, 10 months old and apart from when we have a bbaysitter for the odd evening she is EBF with goats milk formula otherwise.

She is now awake and a smiley baby again.

I feel terribly guilty. I have been very stressed the last couple of days and not eaten at all so I'm guessing my milk has been zapped.

Am I correct thinking that before 12 months I wasn't supposed to be topping up with any other liquids if my milk was still in good supply?

Well, I think your babies fluid/food intake has been well covered on this thread, but what about yours? You say that you've not eaten at all for a couple of days - that's not a good place to be in.
Food and liquid for your and your baby - that's the answer.
