I was giving my baby girl a bath she’s 4 weeks today but so when I was rinsing her off she accidentally got water in her mouth and I know it’s bad for newborns to drink water so should I be worried?

No. If it was a little she'll be fine . She wasn't actively drinking it.

Omg y’all my baby is finally here. I went into ACTIVE labor Thursday morning! After a flat tire, a damaged spare tire, extreme traffic with a police escort, and almost going into labor in the car on the way to the birth center, baby made her arrival safe and sound after only 2 min of pushing 🤣🤣. Another natural birth at a birth center, i was hoping to do another water birth but baby didn’t even let me make it to the tub 😅 Taylee Tior Barnes 2.23.23 9:52am 8lbs 20in

At some hospitals you can do water births as well. At the one I delivered at has the option to at least.

Are you talking about the atomic fluid in your stomach? Because mines was on the low normal side and they just told me to drink a gallon of water a day so I downloaded the water app to make sure and went to my appointment today and it came up....You may need to drink more water hun.

My baby is two months old. She has been very constipated. The pediatrician suggested giving her 4 Oz of water twice a day. Has anyone else been recommended this? I know she is a doctor I've just always heard it could hurt your baby giving them water before 6 months.

I honestly wouldn’t do a whole 4oz at a time especially by baby being only 2mths I would break the 4oz down. My daughter was the same way and only once I did literally water but by her being a fussy one and gassy also I tried gripe water drops and the first time I tried within 5mins it helped her get some out so that’s something else you could try. Also you could like rub on her belly especially I believe it’s left side to help the process and warm baths possibly a warm rag too sat on her belly and waist area helps the process too it may not work asap but it definitely did help me alotttt with her. Hopefully I gave you a little information that help you and baby❤️

As it gets closer and closer to my due date which is November 1 theres a possibly I can deliver late October I'm having trouble deciding weather or not it's safe to have a at home water birth !?

Safer than hospital setting and it's the most beautiful experience ever. I can't explain how much my home birth meant to me. I'll never forget it. I had two in the hospital before too and they were horrible experiences. I would highly suggest having a doula/midwife at home to ease your mind but other than that you 100% got this and you will NOT regret your decision to birth how nature intended! Praying it all works out and you get this experience w your baby. ❤️❤️❤️

Its always safer to deliver at the hospital just incase anything unexpected was to happen youll already be there, i do highly recommend getting a midwife or doula if you decide to do it at home, im planning on having a home birth as well ❤️
