Giving 2 month old water?

Question

My mom has been on my case to give my daughter water but I've been reading not to give it to her because she's too young.. does anyone else give there 2 month old water? Is it safe?

Answer

Don't give the baby water. They are made to have breast milk/formula for a certain amount of time. Water is not needed. If they're formula fed, that's where they get their water from.

Answer

You are not suppose to do that. That is old school thing.

Answer

I've been told by my doctor that only to ever give water is if my daughter is constipated or when she was really sick and vomiting but only a 1oz of water a day nothing more till six months

Answer

Water can be life threatening to a baby.

Answer

My mom use to annoy the fuck outta me telling me my daughter needed water. Her Ped told me not to give her water until after 6 months because she was too young. And even still don't give it to her unless she was hot (summer time). My mom said that ain't true back when she was having babies.. blah blah. I said mom u was having babies well over 27 years ago (my brother is 27) she got mad lol. Your baby. Your decision. Baby is fine until her doc okays water
