Giving water on babies aged 0-12months

[dolly]

^ 2 years sis? tagal non a! Bakit kaya iba iba sinasabi ng mga pedia ahahaha!

[mybabybubbles]

oo nga , parang ang tagal non 2years. ang alam ko if purely breasfed, ok lang until 6mo without water. during the 6m0,  since kumakain na cya ng solids, you should give water na. pero kung below 6mon nag formula na cya, dpat tlaga magdrink ng water.

when i gave birth, the pedia's advise was,salitan ng water yung milk ni baby basta wag lang lalampas ng 2oz per day.. pwede lagyan ng honey para may konting lasa pero di ko nilagyan ng honey kasi ang hirap humanap ng real honey dito. now naman na 6months na sila, wag lang lalagpas ng 4oz ang water intake nila para maubos pa din nila yung recommemded milk intake for their age... tsaka I give them some foods na kaya need na talaga painumin ng water after kumain.

Honey is not advisable for infants. It can cause botulism. It should only be given to kids 1yo-up.

Sa daughter ko 7 mos sya  nagstart mag water exclusively breastfed sya pero konti water lang mas gusto ko breastmilk than water after ng  meal nya.

I started giving water to my son when he was already eating solids, 5-6 months, malakas naman siya magwater. Breastmilk naman kasi iniinom niya kaya no need for water. For formula-fed babies, ang alam ko, puwedeng mag-sp ng konting water ang baby after magmilk para matanggal yung milk stain sa tongue, sabi ng pedia sa seminar na na-attendan namin.

mixed feeding kami ni baby so even before she turned a month we let her drink water na. an ounce a day. nng una yaw nya kasi syempre walang lasa yun. til my pedia advised to give her water 1st thing sa morning, when she cries and is asking for milk. gutom daw kasi ng baby nun so no choice sya but to drink the water. mabuti daw na masanay ang bata sa water ng maaga. now my baby's a month old, okay na sya sa water..

i started giving water to my son when he turned 1 month old. mixed feeding kasi ako. at first, ayaw nya sa bottle. pedia said to use dropper muna hanggang masanay. now that he is 8 months old, nakakaubos na sya ng 4-6 ounces of water a day. pag milk time, sa bottle. pag eating time, sa cup na.

I started giving water to my when she started eating solids at 5 mos. Up to now, she barely drinks water maybe because of the bland taste. My mom told me that eventually, she'll get used to drinking it so never stop trying in letting her drink.

[chizmosato]

MiXed feeding ang baby ko kaya pedia recommended that baby takes in water para hindi sya maconstipate. Kaso ayaw ni baby ng water. He is only able to drink half an oz tapos ayaw na nya. That's why as much as possible I try to express as much breastmilk as possible para yun na yun parang water ni baby. Right now ok naman poop nya.

since nagfoformula feeding yung daughter ko, advice ng pedia is to give her water every after feeding para daw di lumaking sipunin and di palaubo. nalilito nga ako kasi yung sis-in-law ko sa canada, she was adviced naman not to give water to her baby. so nagresearch ako sa net, may nabasa ako na may limit lang a day on how much water you can give to your baby. or else madidilute daw yung nutrients na nakukuha niya sa milk and possible na magka-electrolyte imbalance daw. anyway, i continue giving her water parin kasi parang kulang yung milk na binibigay ko. more than one year old na siya ngayon, and she's used to drinking water talaga. and sure enough, never pa siya inubo or sinipon unlike dun sa cousin niya of same age na ayaw magwater kasi di nasanay.

6months nag start na ko. Every after he drink he's milk as his pedia advice to avoid hiccup daw.

[goddessjem]

hi..si baby, first check up pa lang nya kay pedia, sinabi na sa akin na painumin na daw ng tubig..ngayon, malapit na siyang mag 2 months, halos wala pa ding naiinom na tubig si baby..[textspeak!] ayaw nya talaga..pero sa akin lang, siguro kung pure breastfeed, kahit siguro wala munang tubig [textspeak!] wala ng mas masustansya pa sa gatas ng ina..everytime na papainumin namen siya, ang mukha ni baby..kala mo pinainom namen ng suka..

I only gave my daughter water when she was already taking solids (she started at 4 months) but not really a lot. She has been fully breastfed and transitioned directly to natural cow's milk at past 2 years of age. As a result, she does not really drink a lot of water but I found out that if I make her bring her water bottle with a straw, she has no problem emptying it. There's the trick.

Before, may separate bottle ako lagi para sa water ni baby para malinis naman bibig niya pero lagi siya nasasamid kapag water lang laman ng bottle. Natakot ako na baka napapasukan ng water ang lungs niya so inistop ko na lang. I don't know bakit nasasamid siya, may times na unang sipsip pa lang niya nasamid na agad.
