Dehydration
I’m worried if baby is taking enough fluids, she has 7oz every 4 hours and is 13 weeks, she pood last Thursday and then again Monday but nothing since again. Her poos are soft. Do I need to give her cool boiled water or is it ok not to?

Wet nappies are a better indication for dehydration. Speak to your HV x
It’s okay to give babies a tiny amount of cooled boil water inbetween feeds but not to replace a feed, I got told 1oz throughout the day is enough x
My baby wees all the time but we’ve had no 💩 for 8 days now 😭
My baby is the same age, spoke to health visitor on Monday when she visited and she said cooled boiled water after feeds should help
should only give max once a day 30ml. That’s on the nhs guidelines. I’ve been giving my little girl it once as day as it’s only meant to help with constipation x
