Giving water

[Magic Monkey]

Should I be giving ella water now that the weather is warmer? She is formula fed and is going the normal amount of time between feeds.

i give jack some in between feeds if he is awake as they can get easily dehydrated in the hot weather

I've been giving Chester water the past couple of days. At first he didnt really like it and spat it out, but today he had about 30mls and he was so hot bless him.

That's the only resaon that I have given it before! Just one thing though, it won't fill her up though and stop her wanting her bottles will it?

I asked my HV the same thing, and she said giving between 30 & 60 mls is enough to quench their thirst without filling them up
