Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Use the baby's favorite cup or bottle to feed water. Feed with a spoon, one spoonful at a time. Feed while comforting. It's okay to drink just a few sips each time, but it's important to encourage multiple sips, many times. If the baby really doesn't want to drink, feeding breast milk is also fine. The more the mother drinks, the higher the water content in the breast milk.
