Rant: My dad wants to give LO water!
My dad keeps telling me to ask my sons doctor when i can give him water cause its getting hot. My son is 2 months! Uh no dad! I tell him he cant until after 1 year old (i think) but he still wants me to ask and give him some. Now i have to keep an eye on my dad to make sure he doesnt give him any. ??
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
My son just handed me this…. As an adult I made the decision not to get it and told him why I choose not to. Asked him if he knew anything about COVID or the vaccine and he said no all he knows it’s that it’s out there. At the end I asked him if he wants the vaccine I will sign the form if not we ignore it. He said no thank you 😊.
Am I wrong for not wanting anybody to ride my sons bike but him hes 3 and he has a auntie who is the same age as him but I dont want her to ride it either...
My sons dad messaged me and wants to talk to my son.. He doesnt know him. My kid knows of him but doesnt know him. Hes 10 and hasnt seen him since he was 4 and barely the years before that. Im not sure how to respond or just ignore it.

Wow. I never knew about water intoxication. Thanks yall for that tidbit. I thought it could just possibly affect the way baby absorbs nutrients from formula. Which is bad. And I never gave my DD water until she was around 7 months. But I had absolutely no idea more than a few drops would be detrimental.

Old people. My grandmother insisted the same thing when my son was about one month

Where is yaya

Meh. I doubt he's going to give him any if he's just,asking you to ask. My dad thought I was suppose to and I explained it to him and we left it at that

You don't have to wait till a year. Babies can have water after they start solids.Just a few ounces at a time in a sippy cup and only after they've been fed,never replace formula or breast milk with water.

At 2 months why does it matter if it is hot out its not like the little is running around he shouldn't have anything besides milk
deleted-user·
Not until they are a year old

I don't get the obsession with water with some older folks. Breast milk and formula...they both contain water...only they actually have nutrients. So they provide nourishment while they hydrate.

Even when it's hot, baby gets what baby needs from breastmilk or formula.. No need for water. Look up water intoxication.

Babies can have water at 6 months old:) along with their food and still there nutritious milk but yes they can have plain water then

I've been told to introduce a little water when they have solids to make sure they don't have problems with constipation etc, but definitely not replacing milk
I started very small amounts at 6 months

I'll bump yaya's post for you.
Kimberly Espinoza·
Is it preffered to wait 6 months or 1 year??
deleted-user·
At least 6months old. Before then it can be deadly if given more than a sip or two.
deleted-user·
Tell him it's fine. As long as he adds a little formula. (;
But seriously it's not that big of a deal. Yes baby is way to young, but if he sneaks him a sip it won't be the end of the world.
I'd be more concerned that he is overriding your wishes as the parent. No matter the issue.

I agree with pp. tell him the doctor said no and that she sent him some flyers to read up on.
deleted-user·
I think at 6 months you can give a little but def not 2!!!
deleted-user·
Tell him you asked and the Dr said absolutely not! Lo gets everything he needs from bottle or breast right now.
