out of formula and no way to get any so gave her water to have for her nap....

Try regular milk Drs want them on milk by a year old anyway

Me and my boyfriend want to wait for regular milk and don't really want her on one percent and that's all I have right now.

Milk is better than water. Milk at least has some nutrients in it, water has nothing.

@ashalay88, my doctor wants me giving her 4 ounces of water a day anyways. so it should be okay until I can get her some

apply for wic it helps !

I have wic but between trying to finish up school, my daughter getting hurt, and Dr appointments I missed my appointment so I didn't get it this month

OK, but you're saying you have no way to get formula. She can't live on just water. Just a suggestion to give her the milk...

how old is she @6215teenmom ? just joined a day ago, water is OK in moderation.

are you on wic?

where I live with wic they give you 1% or skim milk for children they did away with the vitamin D and 2%

@ashalay88, @kiml7613 I don't have a way to right now but I will in a bit. she should be fine until then. she will be 11 months tomorrow. it'd 4 ounces. I think she can handle it. my doctor wants her having that much a day anways.

Girl do you, you know your child. If the doctor says that's fine that's fine. Dang ladies she didn't say she would never get any she said right now she doesn't have a ride.

@hermommy, thankss.

I don't judge the water thing I was just stating that wic was changing their milk type my son had the vitamin D and then went back and they said "vitamin D is not allowed anymore. I gave my son water and juice and formula at 6months ish I don't judge. if her Dr says to then do it. it's to help keep them from dehydrating yeah you can " overhydrate and cause low sodium but that's if you only give them water and nothing else. youre doing fine momma dont worry lol

water is fine for her.

@kiml7613, I don't give her too much water, I only give her 4 ounces and 4 ounces of juice a day, which is what my doctor wants her on at her age. it's just she doesn't nap without a drink so I had to give her something for now.

i never understood the whole water thing. i saw a child passed from water intoxication n my doctor said since he's breastfed my son wouldn't need water. i give him maybe an ounce cuz he likes it. i don't think it's anything wrong with it especially since he's drinking cow milk

I am not judging you at all! I did the same with my son. 98% of his intake was formula he had juice and water on occasion now He loves juice and is okay with water he's 2 1/2
