[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving water to baby when he was only 3 months old. We were in Florida and it was really hot so I was worried he should be drinking more throughout the day (he was ebf besides the one incident of giving him water). He got explosive diarrhea (luckily it only lasted a very short while). We felt horrible. We had no idea infants under 6 months absolutely shouldn’t be given water. [/quote] Serious question: do you think it was bacteria in the water that did it? If so, wouldn’t anyone feeding their kid formula with the water have the same issue? I thought the issue with giving infants water was that it would make them too full for food and possibly interfere with their growth over time. [/quote] It’s not fullness that is the problem, it’s electrolyte balance.[/quote] Twice in the emergency room, I've seen parents drop the baby's sodium level low enough to cause seizures. Don't give a baby that young free water.[/quote]
