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.

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

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.

Similac Supplements for Breastfeeding is good formula. I use it and also breastfeed because sometimes I don't produce enough.

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.

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.

@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.
