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 :(
