Do you give your LO water?

If so, when did you start and how much do you give them?

    My pedi actually advised me to give LO water from a bottle to break him of his 3:00 in the morning bottle. She said he more than likely won't take it....

    My ped said no water until he is 6 months and eating solids, something about too much water can thin out blood or affect blood sugar levels or something. BM and formula have all the hydration needed.

    My pedi said to not do it until closer to 6 months.  Because the formula is mostly water, its not going to do anything other than fill his belly up.

    Thanks all, that's what I thought too.  My aunt asked me the other day how much water LO was drinking now... and I said I wasn't giving her water.  Her concerned look got me to thinking maybe I should be, but instincts said that she was getting what she needed from her formula.

    Our pedi told us to give LO one ounce of water if he has gone more than 2 days without pooping. It works every time.

    Our pedi recommended we start giving DS 1-2oz of water a day, not because of hydration, but because the fluoride in non-spring water is good for their teeth. DS is EBF so he doesn't get water any other way. If you're FF I would think they get enough water through that.

    Our son has had alot of congestion due to drool/teething.  Our pedi recommended a small amount in the mornings to clear up congestion.  She did not recommend giving it beyond that reason.
