Melissa asked for a simple brochure or article that talks about why BF babies do not need water supplementation during hot weather. This one offers many references: Guidelines for offering water to breastfed babies http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/baby-water.html and you can also refer people to these: http://www.llli.org/cbi/bibwater.html http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/T023000.asp http://rehydrate.org/breastfeed/faq-exclusive-breastfeeding.htm norma *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html Mail all commands to [log in to unmask] To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or [log in to unmask]) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet or ([log in to unmask]) To reach list owners: [log in to unmask]
