Giving water while bottlefeeding?

[MissThing]

Hi everyone!

Do I have to give Daniel anything else exept formula, or should I give him some water too? (He is on Aptamil)

My son is on Aptumil now but was on cow and gate from birth but this made him constipated so i used to give him cooled boiled water once a day. He started on one ounce a day now he has three He loves it

My mw told me half an oz of cooled boiled water before his feeds if he is constipated. it always softens things up

ive tried to give alice a drop of water everyday so she is used to the flavour.

She loves it now.

water is good for the digestive system a little water goes a long way i a baby and stops them from getting all constipated
