Ya at like 8 months I gave my son water an the doctor flipped out! Really don't give the baby water. It can be very harmful
@alicia3_21, yup! Happy to help. If anyone questions this let me know I'll provide links
Water before 6 months can kill your baby DO NOT give baby water especially I'm replacement of breastmilk or formula. Not good not needed before 6 months. Babies lose weight after birth and gain it back within a couple weeks. Your milk will come in within the week and the less you nurse the less you'll produce and essentially you're kinda shootin your self in the foot if your plan is to breastfeed and you're not offering your breast any chance you get.
Let her nurse as much as possible so that it makes your milk come in...I gave mine a tiny syringe of formula (like 1 oz) in the corner of her mouth while she was still nursing so she thought it was from me, she got full, and your milk is stimulated.
Similac Supplements for Breastfeeding is good formula. I use it and also breastfeed because sometimes I don't produce enough.
Have u tried drinking the mother milk tea I hear that's supposed to increase ur milk supply
@californiahaley, member that story u posted about the parents giving water to baby??
it's normal for babies to lose some weight after birth. my son lost 4-5 ounces & just got it back at a week old.
water will NOT kill the baby thats so wrong. & the more she feeds the more milk.you will produce hang in there mama. I breastfed til my boys were a yr & a half. the more they feed the more you will produce
Dont give her water. formula if u have to. water will kill the baby
He's not the one that has to breastfeed if she's not getting any for now I would honestly give her formula. I wanted to breastfeed both my boys but I never got milk, both my kids had formula and they are both healthy boys.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
my baby daddy punched me in my nose twice. All because the phone he has I GAVE IT TO HIM! Its MyOld Phone And he been talking to this girl and so i said give me my phone back! I didnt give it to you for that reason. And i got it and he was trying to take it back and he hit me .
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
so my mom was telling me I should give my son baby cereal at night because at night is when he wants to eat the most. I haven't done it yet but who thinks its okay I was thinking doing it when he's two months!??
@irisedith, please don't give your baby water that can cause their brain to swell and she could die. Just use the supplement until u get ur milk in.
