Don't give your newborn water!
Lots of information on the internet is false, and there's plenty of bad information on Yahoo! Answers, too.
And when you DO start giving your baby water, tap water is fine. It's even ENCOURAGED, because it contains fluoride, which is good for your child's developing teeth. Chlorinated water is fine; it kills any pathogens that might have gotten into the water supply. Bottled water doesn't have to meet the same standards that city tap water does. So listen to your pediatrician. Unless your baby has special medical needs, or you get your drinking water from a well, tap water is preferred.

You have to watchout to which kind of water that you drink. Make sure that it is bottled and not highly chlorinated tap water. Some tap water is full of things that your body doesnt need. When I was breastfeeding, my son and I had such bad acid reflux and indigestion, that the only thing that I could drink was water. I also had to watch what I ate. As soon as I started to drink water and watch what i ate, we both felt better. My doctor (OBGYN) said that drinking water was the best thing for you while you are breastfeeding. You also need to make sure that you drink double the amount so that you both stay hydrated. Good Luck! And dont worry about a thing!

Hon, I strongly disagree. Both my children drank water from the first. Not large amounts. They are both grown 21 and 25 and very healthy. Neither of them had any health problems as babies. Oh and they are both water drinkers still which is good. The don't drink soda or other sweetened drinks. Just my pers opinion.

Don't forget that lots of things on the Internet are false. Check with your doctor!
ps. there is a way you can add more to your previous question without having to post another question.

ok, if u think of the value is high quality then purchase it for her, Or attempt to alter her strategies by utilising identifying to purchase any further decrease priced issues. First see she is greater desirable than 3years or no longer. If she is greater desirable than 3years than basically purchase this Water Gun. that's useful for 3years.

Don't worry its fine. I was a overly paranoid teenage father. If you have a question don't mind to ask, don't worry about the rude people.
