on 4/8/2009 You are NOT supposed to give water to babies! This is actually a very poor way to get your baby to sleep thru the night and can be dangerous. Babies need to eat. That is why they wake up. A baby under the age of one year should eat every 4 hours at least. Some may sleep the night if on a solid routine others will not. Please to not attempt to quiet your hungry baby with water! This should also NOT be tried by parents of newborns!!!

on 4/7/2009 being in the pediatric medical profession parents need to look further into this before trying it. Babies are designed to eat every threee hours at first because their bodies need nourishment. Waqit a few months to try this and make sure you check that your baby is growing at a good rate. Check out different parenting styles and do whatever works best for you AND baby. heres a site i like:http://www.askdrsears.com/html/10/t130300.asp
