Hi im pretty sure its from birth... i was breast feeding so there was no need to give cooled boiled water as they get everything in breast milk but since switching to formula about 2 weeks ago, rosie has been constipated so MW suggest cooled boiled water shes now (3wks +5days) and my HV suggest cooled boiled water with freshly squeezed orange in the mornings which im giving her in 2 1/2 - 3oz of cooled boiled water.

ive read and heard not to give cooled boiled water in replacement of milk so i would just try him on 1oz every now and again just before a feed... if ur still unsure ask you HV.

Thanks

thank you you would think i could remember from luke but no im still a scatter brain
i just thought id ask about it as he asks for more an hour after feeding we tried with an 1oz of milk but not interested

could he just be warm its hot today
