It has been suggested that water supplementation of breast-fed newborns may delay the arrival of true milk. A total of 136 healthy term neonates were divided into two groups. Seventy-eight nursed exclusively on demand, and 58 received in addition supplemental water ad lib. Mean time for arrival of milk in the unsupplemented group was 54.9 hours and in the supplemented group 56.6 hours. This difference was not significant, indicating that water supplementation to the normal term newborn does not affect or disrupt the establishment of lactation.
