A member asked:
Dr. theodore, should i be worried about any side effects from giving my baby the sterile water for irrigation? i tried looking up if sterile water for irrigation was safe to drink and couldn't find a simple answer?

A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Nursing or formula are the sources of fluid and nutrition for infants. Sterile water may be used in small amounts, four oz in 24 hours. More details would be helpful. There I no need to give the sterile water, unless approved by your Pediatrician; formula may be offered after nursing. Please follow up. Watch for signs of dehydration.
