cel_cel, DS,
I start to give my boy drink plain water & grip water since he is borned.
My sil commented me b4, saying tat her PD told her, not supposed to give plain water to bb which below 4mths.
Again, bcos of this "plain water" issue, I quarreled wif my hb again, cos he refused to give plain water to my boy after listening to his sis.
But I asked Dr Winston before, he said by right the milk will provide enuf water liao, but it's ok to give bb plain water.
It's no harm lor. Then my hb finally feel relief.
Ya, giving them plain water when they wake up during nite time, is to give them "signal", so when time passes, they knew tat if they wake up at tat time they won't get milk, so they won't wake up anymore by tat timing... hee hee hee
Luckily, my boi usually just make a small fuss when he knows tat is not milk, then back to sleep again.
Ya, giving gripe water after bath, it's good to clear the wind of bb's stomach & "cool down" heatiness.
My bbsitter & me do the same thing every day, my mil so against it. Dun care...
Wat I doing is, I mix the plain water with gripe water (30ml), or other supplementary juices.
Then i feed him plain water subsequently. So far he is ok. Maybe bcos I "trained" him to drink plain water since borned.
Yes, bbs are very smart ones, if they know tat is not milk, then will just use their tongue to push & push... my boy oso the same thing...
DS, maybe you want to mix abit of juices (those Heinz juices - not sweet ones, dun worry) into the plain water & give him to try.
But got to wait until he is 4mths...
Oh, I dun have the tai mao pi shop's tel now. Let me post it here when i get home. okie?
