Hi mamas do any of you give your babies liquids other than breast milk? I have a 2 month old.
@domsmama96 it can kill us as adults too. Its harder to do but it can happen.
@sebastiansmami i give my son water. He doesn't drink even half an oz. Sometimes I'll give him apple juice mixed with water because he gets constipated all the freaking time, but again he drinks maybe half an oz. My son is on formula though and now solids. So yeah i occasionally give him some water.
@cubanese, 0_o die ?! From too much water?! That's really scary. My son has about 2 -3 oz a day when he eats/snacks . I hope that's ok.
Ask your pediatrician.. that's seems to be a sensitive subject lately. Theoretically our bodies are I believe 60-70% water so you "theoretically" should be able to give them water. Not as a meal replacement but if you think they're thirsty. I give my daughter water when I know for a fact she's not hungry or after she eats solids and we've been doing it since my daughter was about 3 months. But, again, I would ask your pediatrician 👍🏻
Babies are not developed enough at that age to process water? I didn't give her whole milk or water until 1.
