moms when did y’all starting giving your babies a little bit of water? doctor said my daughter can…

I give my son a little bit of water

About 1.5 oz

I've been told no more then an oz a day. We haven't done water yet but we've been told that

@mckallalynn.., thank you

@mommytotheo, ok thank you

Just curious...what could water do if gave too much? Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but formula fed babies have water all the time when mixed with formula so I would think it's fine by 6 months

We break up half an ounce after every time he eats baby food. It keeps him from getting constipated

@careylee, there’s a risk of water intoxication. Little as 3 oz of water could be too much for children under a year old. Even over-diluted formula can lead to water intoxication. Breastmilk and formula, that has been mixed correctly, provide all the nutrients that they need.

@careylee, they get “water intoxication” because their little kidneys are too immature so the water makes them lose too much sodium

@mckallalynn.., thank you

I don't give anything but breastmilk
