Publish date: 2024-05-29
If the baby is taking solids Ruddle said they should be given milk “responsibly” and that water should be “offered alongside food”.
Meanwhile, the Baby Centre says: “In hot weather your baby is likely to feed more often, for shorter spells.”
It says mothers should let their baby “have plenty of extra feeds”.
On water it cautions: “If you give your baby water instead of nourishing breastmilk, he’ll miss out on essential nutrients.”
