Plain water for 6wk old
Hi ,
My daughter is 6 weeks and breastfed. She cries and struggles when she passes stool and gas . Since it is summer I have a doubt if she is not getting enough water. In addition to breast milk can I give warm water for her?
If yes, how much can I give ? & If no, what else can I do? Her stool is soft yet she struggles and cries when she passes gas . My mom keeps me in diet without giving me spicy food and adds more garlic in my meals then why is my little one having sooooo much gas ???
Please help :(
Your mother's milk has enough water content
No need for extra water
This also in fear of external infection the fluids avoided in 1st month
Next Steps
gas is no problem
allow him to pass
you leave the baby in flat surface
to push it out with kicking action
Health Tips
increase the comfort with A/C
and tub bath after sun set will give him happiness
thankyou
