I gave Morgan cooled boiled water as a newborn because he was badly constipated. They don't need water until 6months when they start to wean but It's ok to give it to them to help with constipation. Just sips here & there inbetween feeds @tg123456789

@tg123456789, Harry suffered badly from constipation. I think he was 2 weeks when I first gave him cooled boiled water. Just an oz or two though!xx

boiled water, give her belly rubs while her clothes are on , lay her down and hold her legs and gently let them bend like riding a cycle but slowly , when changing the nappy gently wipe her bum up and down with wet cotton wool will help stimulate her put a bit of vasilene on out side of bum ring helps also and invade poo is hard it won't hurt coming out

as long as its boiled in kettle or clean pot where the water is boiled it's clean just check it's the right temp before giving invase it's bit to hot for baby , suppose to be good to feed baby boiled warm water aswell as milk doctors say
