This announcement was posted recently on MSNBC: "Babies younger than six months old should never be given water to drink, physicians at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore remind parents. Consuming too much water can put babies at risk of a potentially life-threatening condition known as water intoxication." Did your doctor tell you to give your baby water between feedings? If so, you may need to consult a different pediatrician.-Susie

my baby is 12 weeks old and is starting to sleep through. I know you have to give water in between feeds but my baby wont have any of it she screams. is there a technique which I can use to ensure she has enough water between milk feeds.

Thanks

Try the following: have someone else try to give her the bottle; try different positions when holding her; try walking around while feeding her; try different nipples. Good luck!-Susie
