Thomas will be 7 weeks old on thursday we give him water in between feeds but he hates it when is it advisable to give baby juice could i add a little bit sugar free orange now or is it too soon?

hi, i wouldn't worry to much that he doesn't like water at 7 weeks, my little lad is 5 months now and he doesn't either but he's just getting into it now, i got some sugar free strawberry and vanilla granules from boots and he likes it but won't drink it cold!!!! i think they say 4 months kels... is he breast fed coz breast fed babies don't need anything other than that for first six months anyway coz i think the first bit is their drink.

That's true. I don't know for certain, but I understand you shouldn't give them adult squash (even if it's sugar free). You could try fennel tea (cooled) or I have seen some 'baby' squash on the shelf in Sainsburys, although I haven't looked to see what age this is suitable from. Probably best to ask your hv just to be sure.

hw is bottle fed and takes 50z every 3-4hrs

kels as maz has already said in boots you cane by a baby powder you add to water if i remember rightly it is suitable from 4weeks,i gave this to my 1st ds and he loved it ,it comes in quite a few flavours.

Hi there[]

Im from the 2WW on the pregnancy thread, but just saw this thread.

I don't know if this will help, but my friend has a little boy who is almost 9 months old & for the last few months she has been giving him the Twinnings Fruit teas. She makes them & lets them go cold & apparently he loves them! She checked with her HV who said that was fine. Also, she says that it works out cheaper & you can get 20 tea bags in a selection box that can last for ages & you don't have to worry about them going off like some baby juices.

Apologies for butting in on this thread![B)]
