doctor ksi expert sila e. hahaha. pero pedia rin naman pinuntahan ko. actually nakatatlong pedia na din si baby since birth e. 3 mos ngayon lo ko. and from all those 3 pedias, same lang advice nila sakin, no water muna daw since pbf din ako. so until now, no water p din kay baby. tho one time, nakapainom ako ng kunti kasi medyo nagworry ako sa ubo ubo nta, but isang beses lang un. di ko na inulit kasi napagalitan aki ng asawa ko (na nagbabasa din naman about baby stuff, and ayaw magpainom ng tubig). Sabi rin pala ng midwife na nasa center, ang gatas daw natin ay full package. kumbaga, pagkain at tubig na nila. That's just the advice of those experts to my baby. kung nakita naman ng pedia mo ung lo mo at feeling nya need ng baby mo ang water, siguro follow mo nalang. profession nila yan e. just sharing my experience lang ako momsh
Hi mommy, you can ask your peds if you are confused with their answer or you want to be enlighten about everything about your baby. We cannot just rely on Social Media information, it can be right or not at all. I suggest, if you’re not comfortable with your peds doctor, look another one that you can ask anytime you have questions about your baby. I’m a 1st time mom too, and I feel for you. I started giving water to my baby when I giving him solid food when he was four months, that’s my peds recommendation. I hope this helps. 🙂
momsh kaya naman hindi pinapainom ng water, isa sa mga reason kasi mabubusog ang baby ng walang sustansya dahil sa tubig lang ininom. maliit lang kasi tummy nila momsh kapag pinainom mo sila ng tubig possible na kapag nag dede sila masuka nila yun. tsaka our breast milk is 80% water. and also as per study too much water can cause water intoxication, which can cause seizures and even a coma. sabi naman momsh too much water ee. sip lang cguro pwede. hehe
for me mommy wait until 6 mons before giving water sa baby. i can even see it sa likod ng chart na binibigay sa center everytym na magpapa bakuna ka sa baby. kasi yung milk ng moms ay complete sa nutrients na need ng baby. and our bodies always adjust sa needs ng baby...kaya recomended talaga na ebf for babies under 6mons...
Hello momshie, could have been better sana kung na explain nya ng maayos hindi yung tumawa lng sya, no? medyo ng.add pa tuloy ng confusion si pedia. Pero hindi nmn kc base lng sa post sa fb yun, nsa google sya which is advised din ng mga pedia sa US. kahit ako hindi ko pinainum baby ko ng water until ng 6 mos sya..
if exclusive breastfeeding no need for water since nagbabago ang consistency ng breastmilk depending on the need of the baby. like right now na sobrang init, nagiging mas marami ang water content ng breastmilk naturally. if you would give water to the baby, konti lang din, kung formula fed, pwedeng bigyan.
Better po talaga na no water especially if purely breastfeeding. Iba iba sinasabi ng doc actually. My pedia before was ok to give at 4mos but said na if I prefer to not give until 6mos it was ok also. Baka din kasi mabusog si baby sa water and won’t breastfeed as much na po.
sinong doctor po yan.. pls paki report! nang gigigil ako parang sya lng naka pag sabi nya sa dami kong napuntahang pedia.. pa consult mo ulit c baby sa iba.. para may second opinion ka sis. at sa pedia po c baby hindi sa kung sinong doctor lng...
kung hindi ka po kampante sa sagot ng current pedia ni baby, go see a diffefent one. :) sabi ng pedia ko no water kung wala pang 6 mos. wag ka na maguluhan mommy, kung saan ka mas kampante na sa tingin mo safe kay baby un ang gawin mo.
Same with my 1st born. nirecommend ni pedia to drink water but 2 to 3 drops lang every after milk time. breastfeed din sya noon. its way back 2012. she's healthy naman. ang reason ni pedia to cleanse the throat sa milk.
