what age to feed water???

[foxymum]

when do you start to give water for a drink? can't remember

surely not as early as a week old??

Hiya if you are bottle feeding you can give sips of water right away.

if you are breastfeeding, there's no need to give any water at all as BM has everything they need.

Stanley has a little water everyday to help avoid constipation.

he sucks at the bottle a little but gives up when he realises it's not milk so only gets an ounce at most!
