Do you give your baby water?
If so, when did you start?

Re: Do you give your baby water?
Thanks, do you do this to help hold DC over, or just to give DC water? DS is almost 5 months and I haven't yet.

Re: Do you give your baby water?
My ped does not rec water until about a yr old.
Too much water for a baby can hurt their kidney's.

NEVER to hold him over- he was always able to eat as much as he wants, as oftenas he wanted, as a newborn!!!
My Dr rec'd it at his very first check up- He was my ped. and is very very old fashioned-
It helped keep his popps reg. and helped with the hiccups...
I was told not more than 1oz though... and to never substitue it for food!

SO funny, that's exactly why I asked, DS trys to grab my glass now and drink out of it (he's not even 5 months, so funny) so I let him have a tiny bit of water today, and he liked it.

that's when mine started, 4 months...so into my water bottle all the time. I think only a few drops actually get into his mouth.  now, if I don't offer him a sip he gets pizzed

Re: Do you give your baby water?
I try but my DD just doesn't like it.  She's 7 months old and my ped told me to give her water in a sippy cup. So I guess there are 2 issues...she hasn't taken to the sippy cup & she doesn't like water. Maybe I'll get a few sips in her a day so far. If anyone has any tricks, I'd love to know them.

Re: Do you give your baby water?
She got 1oz in each bottle starting at 4 months old for constipation issues.
ETA: She loves water now! I started giving at 6-7 months sips from my water, then into a sippy with a straw.
She'll drink water like crazy, but refuses her milk!

Re: Do you give your baby water?
My ped said that we could give DD water at her 4mo checkup. She said it should only be given if we feel she's a little dehydrated and to give her just a little bit.

Re: Do you give your baby water?
Probably started around 5 or 6 months when I introduced a sippy cup.

Re: Do you give your baby water?
around 6 months we started having constipation issues so i would give him a few ounces of water whenever he got constipated. probably around 7 months or so i would give water in a sippy cup with meals, but he'd only take a few sips. I think around 10-11 months he really started drinking more water, but it's only a few ounces a day.
