If to dopaivat the child from a small bottle, there is a probability of his refusal of a breast. And it is not necessary to allow it.
Besides all aforesaid, consultants for breastfeeding convince women that only full feeding by a breast will help to support a lactation at the level, necessary for each specific child, and to prolong it for the greatest possible term. The more a milk the kid during feeding will eat, the more it it will be developed to the subsequent meal.

However if the kid is on artificial feeding, then it is obligatory to give to drink to him water. Also additional moisture is necessary if the break between feedings makes more than 3.5 hours. Young mummies need to consider also external factors to solve whether drink is necessary for the baby. So in the hot stuffy room or during long summer walk, clear water is simply necessary for maintenance of health of a children's organism.
