im aware that most infant hates water.. bcos jabez was one of them.. only by spoonfeeding him water den he will drink.. until he reach 3-4months.. as long as they're drinking their milk or u're breastfeeding them, its ok that they're not taking water.. formula consists of 85% of water if prepared correctly.. BF babies do not need water at all.. in fact, extra water can cause water intoxication..

a few links to whether water is really needed for infants..

when i first told my aunt its ok for babies not to drink water she call me "SIAO".. mil told me jabez is also human.. i think the above links sorta assure me that im correct..

im not saying don't give ur son/daughter water! if u think they want, u can give.. but if they doesnt, its ok.. they wun be dehydrated or anything.. bcos they're having enuff water if they're drinking milk..
if they're sick, tat's another matter ok.. like for constipation, water helps?

so im not really a SIAO-lang!!!!! =x
