mummies,
i never give water to my boy at all.

accordingly to my GP, he said giving water to baby less than 6mths is unnecessary. both bm & fm are composed of more than 80% water, so baby is already receiving plenty of wataer from his milk.

since baby stomach is so small, filling it up with water limits the space available for milk. it reduces his appetite for nutritious milk. there is also a risk of water intoxication. however if you do need to give him some water, limit to 1 or 2 ounces after his milk feed.

There was once I called up for baby doctor in KKH about giving water to my then baby girl three years ago. The doctor told me give baby breastmilk, formula milk and nothing else and she repeated to me several times.

I came across an article about giving water to baby below six months old as what your GP told you not to give water to baby. I think it was in the news too.

So far even when my MIL or mum told me to give water, I told them what the baby doctor told me until lately my baby boy refuses to have his regular feeds. My mum's afraid that he would be dehydrated without milk for half a day, gave him some warm water. Isaac would drink the water from the bottle and even tries to hold the bottle himself! Normally my mum would limit to only 30ml.

adv, justin was 2.97kg...also kind of petite..

the gripe water u gave is it fat boy one? fei chai shui?
i haven give before..i gave colic before per PD prescription when he was 3 months but not gripe water..

gripe can prevent constipation?

about giving water, the books all says if on BM no need BM, but because of our tropical water its good to give some..my PD says so long the whole day's water intake is no more than 60ml, its fine and do it in between feeds.

hi mummies!

just back from YA's vaccines, he weighs 8.1kg & 68cm long at 4mths 2 days old.
had 2nd dose of 5-in-1, prevanar & rota.. hope no fever coz we plan to go amusement park tomorrow!

just ot share wi u all, my boy has mild eczema on neck, arms and thighs.. though mild but it's rather persistent since he was 2mth old till now.. my PD told me to continue total BF and can only start bb solid when he's 6 mths old coz he has allergy skin (my family has allergy history).. and start wi rice cereal, avoild wheat & oats till later stage.. thinking to share this wi u all since now we are entering into their weaning stage..

Nice to meet up with the mummies 2day

Thanks to ak for collecting the trays n bringing the big bags to meet us!

Thanks to porky n ling's help to distract my bb -- dunno what happen, she started crying non-stop during the massage... made me so gan cheong! haiz, she was tired from swimming -- phew, she slept while we have a quick chat at food court

she woke up when we parted way -- found the nursing room at harbourfront level 2 (near toilet @ lobby A) and latch her on... she was satisfied after the feed and hubby & me has a quiet dinner

oh, i find this nursing room better than vivo -- temp juz nice, not too cold... but only 1 room for bfg...
