I didnt give my children anything but breast milk for the first 6 months. Ok, so i was in the UK, but it isnt that hot here at this time of year! The best way to check for dehydration is by the liquidity of their poo and if their skin is saggy!

If you're bottle feeding, I dont think there's any harm in putting a tad more water in than it states on the tub!!? If you're sure that she is dehydrated

My second and third babies were screamers and out of all my kids, they were the most difficult children and grew up to be the most tenatious, stubborne but most fun well grounded adults.

What about a dummy? babies like to suck, so why shouldnt they!??

Lets see a piccie, i love babies!
