Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 I've been on diets off and on my whole adult life and of course all of them push drinking water. I'm a big water drinker anyway, and put away a lot of liquid each day, some milk, weak iced tea (that's how I like it), an occasional soda and lots of water. I like my water VERY cold, so I fill a glass with ice, squeeze a small wedge of lime or lemon into it and drop what's left into the glass then fill with water. I can usually refill the glass with water once or twice before I need to repeat the process. I bought one of those little cooler things with a spout, it's a quart and has the insulated thing zipped around it, I take that everywhere, especially while pregnant and nursing.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2000 Report Share Posted June 3, 2000 I was drinking TOO ,uch water, where I saw a difference in my supply, I did not kow it was the watr until i read about it. I was only drinking 3 32 oz bottles of water, plus 2 8 oz glasses of milk, plus 1 4-8 oz glass of juice, and somtiems a decaf frappcino, and I noticed a difference in my supply. and a book I have about breastfeeding said that more then 12 8 oz glasses of fluid a day can deminish your supply. so I cut back to 2 32 oz bottles of water a day, and I saw an increase in my supply. I am sure everyone is different.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 I didn't start giving my girls water until they were about 10 months old. And only in a sippy cup with meals. They love water! I dont think a young baby needs it at all though. Breastmilk is 90% water. Jodi Mommy to twin girls and Mackenzie 7-11-1999 icq#70190079 Go to picturetrail.com/twinsmegmac to see pics of my girls!!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 With my first, who was jaundice and in the hospital an extra 5 days, they told me to give him water and I did. Lots of it - what the heck did I know. With my second, she was a little yellow and they sent me home with water but I never used it. The rest had no reason, but when they were old enough to drink from a sport bottle, my older kids would give them a drink from their water bottle on all those long car trips to soccer games, baseball games, etc. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 I gave DS water in his cup, back around nine or ten months--before he got any juice, but even in the hot Texas summer when we were out camping and it was like 100 in the shade I didn't give him water. I did try to nurse him every 30 min. since we were all drinking like mad. DS was much happier in his diaper with bm than the ff baby lying next to him on the blanket in the shade. FF infants can need water for constipation, or if they are gaining weight too fast, but an exclusively bf baby doesn't need anything other than frequent meals even in the worst weather.
