My bb is 3 months old but as a preemie, she is 6 weeks corrected age. Do you think she can take a sip of water to rinse her mouth after feeding? (Forgot to ask pd about it)

Hi, I think there is no need to give her water till six months if she is breastfeeding. Breastmilk has got all the nutrients and water that a baby requires. You probably feel this way because we cannot fathom a day without having water, so you feel the same for the baby. But trust, breastmilk has got enough water that a baby wants. But if you want to clean her mouth or gums, you can clean it with a wet cotton or wipe. http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/babyneedwater.htm
