What is the deal with the older generation and their wanting to feed newborns water?
Even to my inexperienced mommy mind, it's not a good idea unless the newborn's on formula.
Gah.

I think its because they used formula rather than breastfed? My mum keeps asking me to give X water too...
ReplyDeleteI've been breastfeeding my baby all the way till now. No water initially. Am regretting a bit now. Very hard to wean. He doesn't want any water. For my next baby, I'll try to give water, but maybe not immediately.
ReplyDeleteI think giving water is to let them get used to the taste of tasteless water rather than anything.
