    Ditto what everyone else said, babies that age aren't manipulative so i doubt she feels she has you wrapped around her little finger, she just feels happy and confident cause she knows her mummy loves her and is there for her needs.

    I bought MJ home to a week of 35-40C weather. EVERYONE told me that i should give her water, but i resisted, knowing that my boobs will do what thy meant to and also i turned my thoughts towards 100s of years ago... they didnt have running water and when it was hot there was no way to give water to a baby...

    We are amazing women, we know to make more watery milk in the mornings after our babies have ahad a big sleep to quench their thirst and also in hot weather and to make fattier and creamier milk in the colder weather or at night time to fill bubs up and keep them satisfied and warm...

    You are doing a great job and your body knows EXACTLY what to do as your bubs communicates in a special way...

    PS the only time MJ had water as a small baby was a ml of cool boiled water to help with wind (it took her a long time to learn how to fart and i the infants friend and gripe water didnt work)

    She still has no water even though she has started solids, she gets enough water from me....

    (im off to go and drink another glass now )
