Hi

I am formula feeding my little girl, and have to date not given her any water. She seems to be fine but I am wondering if other mothers of formula fed babies give them water? From what I could gather from books it is optional during hot weather?



Thanks.

Hello,
Water can not hurt them especially in the hotter months they get hot just as we do. But from what I have been told in the past do not give them to much water. Also if your daughter is dealing with constipation I have always been told to mix 2 tablespoons of kayro syrup in with a bottle, to help. It doesnt matter what size bottle always 2 tablespoons.

Hey, my GP told me to give my bubby girl some chilled boiled water, as she was a bit constipated, he said this could be due to the warmer weather - dehydration can cause constipation :( . She is formula fed, has a bit of water some days and is perfectly fine and healthy. Also my mum and several other mums recommended water in the hotter seasons. Hope this helps :)
