Help! Given newborn water!

Hi Between me and my husband whilst half asleep we have accidently given out newborn baby water without the formula powder! As soon as I noticed we gave her milk and she seems fine and asleep but now I’m frightened to death incase I’ve hurt her, I think she had around 1.5 ounces please help

Call triage? Just in case? Hopefully the formula mixed

Do you mean you didn't put any powder in or it wasn't mixed? I'd personally ring triage or a GP for advice

Hope baby is well ❤️

An ounce of water she will be fine my gp told me to give my son an ounce of water with his medicine when he was newborn so I presume in that little amount it will be ok xx

Yes literally forgot to put the powder in and gave her water! She seems fine today and is feeding well, good nappy’s and is alert. I didn’t sleep last night I just watched her and felt terrible! Thank you for all your advice xx

Formula fed babies are okay with a little bit of water, she may just do a very big poop. Would worry if little one was brestfed. I had to give my son a small amount if water when he was newborn due to constipation with cmpa x

Glad she's okay 🙃 x

water just doesn't have any nutritional value to newborns, most likely it will just go through her lol
