Just watched a super informative video on why infants cannot have plain water and how it can be deadly. I wish we could share videos on here! #DoNotGiveYourBabyWater 😩
That's so crazy they would do that, I would've said no thank you lol. At 5 months she can't have the water nor does she need to be practicing using a cup lol. Sometimes I wonder about people, you'd think they of all people they would know that 🤦♀️
So I don’t wanna sound dumb, but I am a new mom and have never been told not to give my baby water. I wouldn’t right now but I thought it was ok to give her water around 6 months. Can you just explain to me why not to give them water? Just want to be informed since no one has said anything to me.
They say before 6 months babies shouldn't have any water and after that it should be limited. (Mine I limited until he was weaned off of milk.) They can get over hydrated (I don't remember the actual term for it). If baby is in need of hydration only sips should be given. Babies are super sensitive and get their water from the breast milk or bottles they get throughout the day.
Wish I had this a whole back. My brothers gf was giving my 6 month old niece water on the regular! This was her 3rd child!
@addy her excuse was to help him poop lol I was like yeah okay. He wasn't constipated not had problems. It's like she'd give me juice to give to him, which nope never did lol until like 2. I don't have a good relationship with her as you can tell 😂
@ma.name.chef ugh that's frustrating. Sorry momma but good for you for standing up for yourself and baby
@addy yeah i totally am withdrawing this baby from her lol
This is probably horrible of me since I’m pregnant with #4 but what age is it okay to start to give water ?
At 6 months they can have VERY limited amounts(less than 2 oz) you shouldn't give a sippy cup of water until about a year!
@rmreed, ok yes I remember now !! Thank you ☺️
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!

A couple of weeks ago on mom life I saw a video link of a mom emerging her kids LOL doll in ice water to reveal a “secret outfit” which looks like lingerie. It blew my mind seeing that! I finally found one of my girls dolls last night and decided to try it. I took off her outfit and first ran it under cold water..nothing. Added ice to a bowl, emerged the doll and instantly this secret outfit showed up! I just don’t understand why?? This made me sick to my stomach. We as mothers, ...
Trigger warning
What is your opinion on the Philando Castile shooting? I just saw a recording of his 4 year old telling the mom not to scream so she doesn't get shot. That video broke my heart. I haven't read into the whole thing but do you think the cop was in the right?
Experienced moms..Did you all tear during delivery with your first? I’m expecting with my first and I keep watching YouTube videos on how to avoid tearing LOL I’m so fearful. Can it really be avoided ? 🤭if so how ...
Wic gave me a cup and told me to give my daughter a small amount to get her used to trying a cup.. Although she is only breast fed and will not take pacifiers bottles or even toys .. she hates putting things in her mouth that's not my breast. She is a bit strange.. I do not give her a lot sip then try later ..
