: Hello, can anyone here give me some advice on giving my baby water. My little girl is 3 weeks old and I am breast feeding her, she is doing well. I have heard that I can introduce water at a night feeding. Has anyone here heard of this, has anyone tried giving water to their baby. Please advise me. Thank you...eli
Hi,

I gave water to my babies between meals but only in hot weather.This was at family outdoor outings so they would not get dehydrated.I would only feed them an 1oz or 2 with alittle sugar mixed in.Ps I did not do this before 3 monthes of age,and be careful the water comes out fast.
