: Kim is right Robin. Too much water given to a baby will cause water intoxication. It dilutes the sodium in the baby's bloodstream and can lead to seizures, coma and even death.
: Unless you live in a hot climate, a baby does not need water. Breastmilk or formula is all your baby needs.

Never heard of that b4 at all, i BFed my daughter and was told to not use a bottle for anything it will cause the baby to have nipple confusin and that the baby will realise that the bottle is easler to get than the breast
