Water between feeds

[SunnyGirl]

MW suggested 5-10ml of water in between Eliot's feeds. We've done a bottle of cooled boiled water and stored it at the back of the fridge. It's currently out to get it back to room temp but should I be warming it in the bottle warmer? I think it'd come out way too hot cos it's such a small amount. Any tips on the water between feeds thing? Xx

As far as I know it can stay out for 5 hours....so maybe it does not need to go in the fridge at all?

If I had to warm something I would just stand it in a jug of just boiled water x

are u breastfeeding?? i exclusivly breasfed for the first few months, and didnt give any water between feeds. the breast milk is enough. i started to give boiled cooled water when i FF, but used to boil it and then give it at room temperature. LO would only have a few sips now and again. its only now that he is 1, that he drinks alot of water inbeween and at meal times. xxx

Naw BF didn't work out
I called the Cow & Gate MW line and she said that it could stay at room temp. in a sterilised bottle for 5-6 hours. Phew - much easier!
