My mum was always saying I should be giving Ben water and she felt sorry for him in the heat! I guess they were given different advice when we were little.
It changes totally when its hot and becomes a thirst quecher, offer every hr if you are concerned re dehydration,my Ds was just born this time last year and it was mega hot, he was stuck to my (.)(.) for days and i thought im neva gonna leave the house EVER! But once it cooled down he was fine,
All water will do is fill up your babys tummy and screw up you feeding/supply.
well done with the breastfeeding x x
