I was just feeling bad because he was spitting up and I kept trying to feed him so he wouldn't get dehydrated!</p> <p>We tried the library yesterday but it wasn't really that cool. We did go to the pool for a bit and he LOVED it!</p> <p>He also loved teething on frozen washcloths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heat-wave#post-896100 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:37:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 896100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in your neck of the woods for the past week. It got really hot Friday!</p> <p>It's ok to give babies water after 6 months of age if they need it. I'd say if they have more than 3 wet diapers/day, are mentoring well and are making good tears and have good capillary refill they probably don't need it.</p> <p>Can you find a cool place to hang out for a few hours tomorrow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heat-wave#post-896081 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 00:52:44 +0000 sunny 896081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said that my LO didn't need water if she was being adequately breast fed. Here's a KellyMom page on it: <a href="http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/baby-water.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/baby-water.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heat-wave#post-896078 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 00:49:24 +0000 jedeve 896078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you dealing with this heat wave?</p> <p>It's not ridiculously hot here, 80s/90s, but we don't have ac. Or a mall. Most people don't have ac either. It's not usually necessary. I'm concerned about the baby. He's 6 mo old and EBF. I've been trying to feed him more, but he's been spitting up more too. Should I give him water? </p> <p>Any ideas on how to keep a baby cool? He's looked flushed all day. </p>
