Hi all, I want to start giving my dd boiled water but when in the EASY routne do i give it to her and how much (she only poo's once every 3 days and i want it to be more regular)? Do i give it in her A time after her feed or do i give it to her just after she's woken up and hold off her feed for about 10 mins? I just have no idea when to give it to her, i know people say between feeds but when? She is 13 weeks old and doing 3.5 hour EASY (A time is only 1.5hrs). Thanks for your help.

My lo is on four hour EASY (bottle fed) and I have started giving him water due to the warmer weather (plus he's been sick).  I tend to keep milk for mealtimes and then offer him water midway through his A time - sometimes he'll take it, sometimes not.

Thanks for the reply linfran, i'll give it to her in the middle of her A time also.

That is also what I do. I add 1/2 oz of water and 1/2 oz of sugar free apple juice to "sweeten the pot" a bit and she loves it.
