[dannii]

Hi
Indy is 7.5 months and unexpectedly weaned herself off breastfeeding. so i have now started completely bottle feeding. She just kept refusing the boob :confused:
Anyways..
now that she is bottlefed and has 3 meals a day, how much water does she need in her diet everyday?

Thanks heaps

There really is no exact amount of water...I put cooled boiled water in a sippy cup during mealtimes...sometimes DS has little as 1 ounce during a meal...sometimes 4ounces...it really depends on the baby :)

i offeer my 7.5 month old water after each solid feed, she seems to drink about 40 mls a day...i tryed the sip cup, but she doesnt drink from it , only from the bottle, she not used to differnt teat, but i keep persisting...

I have always left a cup with water in it close by to where my girls were so they can have as much or as little as they like anytime each day. Some days they drink more than others. But, babies will only take what their body needs so if you don't have a water-drinker, thats ok, she is obviously getting the fluids she needs from her formula which if mixed as per the tin should be fine :yes:
