My MIL panics every time i drink chilled water from the fridge, says it will harm the baby or give me cold. Honestly the summer is unbearable and i crave it. Is there any actual truth to this or just gharwale baatein?
Beta in our time we were told to prefer normal or warm water, mostly to avoid throat or cold issues, not because it harms baby. If you have a cough then maybe go for room temperature. Otherwise a little cold water is okay.
Haan cold water is totally fine, it doesnt harm the baby at all. I drank it through both pregnancies, especially in summers. Old myths say avoid it but theres no real reason, drink what feels comfortable.
Your baby is not going to catch a cold from your fridge water, promise. Drink it if you fancy it, just dont gulp a litre of ice cold when you have a sore throat. Stay hydrated, thats the real point.
