is bf enough in this weather?
I know it might sound like a silly question after I have already had two children but they were bottlefed.
When I had them and it was hot I used to give them boiled cooled water in their bottle. With my son though I am breastfeeding and not using bottles atall. But should I still be giving him bottled water or will breastmilk be thirstquenching enough for him? I know he will be hydrated enough with the breastmilk just not quenched?

Also said its fine to give him boiled cooled water if I wanted to.
I did give him a little water in a cup but found that he was happy enough with just the bf. I was over there for 3 weeks as well.
Trust me your lo will let you know what they want.
He ended up having an extra feed today and i dont know if its the weather or coz i dropped his 10pm feed last night. He usually gets up around 7.30-8.30am and has 4 feeds in the day and i wake him at 10pm for a feed. Last night i didnt wake him and he still slept till 7am but as i said he has had an extra feed today.
Have all the babies been having extra feeds today? Just dont know whether to wake him tonight or leave him again. I just dont want to unsettle him through the day
