My mother in law fed my 6 week old son water last night. Just straight water. She told me after she brought him back to me. Is it safe to give him water?
Just because something bad didn't happen to your child doesn't mean it hasn't to someone else's! Do your research and you will see that it can cause harm and death to a baby. there is no reason that a baby needs to drink water.
No no no no no. It can cause water intoxication. They're not supposed to have water until 9-12 months and then it's not supposed to be more than 4oz a day. Several babies have died from their formula having too much water in it itself let alone drinking just straight water.
that werid because i was told if my son was sick or constipated its ok too give them alil water to help from keeping dehydrated my doctor and several nursing nicu friends told me this but as a mom its you decision
