Its so hot these days and i really crave cold water from fridge, but my MIL keeps stopping me saying its not good for the baby. Is there any truth to this or just an old belief?
Baby is floating cozy and warm inside, totally unaffected by your cold water haha. Drink it if you enjoy it. Just maybe not the freezing fridge one if your throat catches cold easily.
Beta in our time elders said avoid very chilled water as it may give cough or cold to the mother, not the baby. So I'd say room temperature is gentler. But a little cold water won't harm anything, just not too much when you have a sore throat.
Yes you can, cold water does not harm the baby, that's just an old belief. Drink whatever temperature feels comfortable to you. If your throat is sensitive then go for normal water, but otherwise it's fine.
Yaar cold water is fine actually, it's a total myth that it hurts the baby. In summer I needed it honestly. Only thing, if you're prone to throat infection, dont keep gulping ice cold all day.
