    I always go with...if I need more water, so does he.  My BM doesn't know what temperature it is.

    I was told a long time ago that one of the first signs of dehydration is dry lips, so if he's got dry lips I offer him water.  My DS loves ice water to soothe his gums.

    Past 6 months, you can offer water. If a baby needs it, he'll drink it.

    But if he doesn't drink it, that's fine too. You milk actually does adjust and is "watery" on a hotter day.
