Do you find that your babies nurse more in the summer? Do you nurse more often or do they just nurse for longer at one session? Do you supplement with water or juice? Just curious since summer is approaching. I worry about her getting enough liquids.

My babies would have been 6 months in June, May and August. I never gave them water .. it is not necessary if they are exclusively breastfeeding. I don't know if they nursed more often or longer ... since I always fed on cue, I nursed when they needed it. I am sure RJ and Michael might have gotten a little water .... just because they were older. And ... summer lasts from April until October in Houston. smile.gif

thumb.gif I agree with Barbara. Babies shouldn't need any extra water or juice. I nursed on cue, so I don't remember if Hannah nursed longer or not, but then again she was just 2-4 months old. So, just go with the flow, and don't let anyone tell you she needs more liquids (unless Dr. says so). Have you started solids yet? There's no hurry to start them. Hannah's only just started liking them & she's almost 1! The only extra liquid she gets is some water when she has solids, which helps because sometimes food particles left in the mouth can cause sore nipples.

HTH!
