We had a heat snap a day or so ago, very summery weather, and Jazz got very sweaty, even in singlet and nappy. I was told that I should give her water by a few people (mum, MIL, and a friend) so she doesn't get dehydrated.

I thought that as long as I was drinking enough water, and feeding her when shes hungry/thirsty, then she wont get dehydrated? Don't know if thats right but thats what I thought. Jazz fed every 2ish hours during the day, though most times it was just for 5-10 minutes and she was satisfied, so I didn't give her any water. Mum, MIL and friend ended up telling me off as feeding her so often and when she demands it would overfeed her, and apparently I was wrapped around her little finger (something about getting what she wants all the time... obviously i should have starved her !).

Should I give her water on a hot day next time? Or is she getting enough from the boob?
