NO: Water is not a appropriate fluid for your infant. If she is having difficulty with her formula, please contact her pediatrician asap.

Formula: I hope you are breast feeding. Water has no nutrients, if you are not producing enough breast milk, you will need to supplement it with other types of formula such as soy formula if your baby cannot tolerate milk formula. Hydrolyzed formulas are also an option, speak to your pediatrician.
