2. I've had two babies...
...and I've never, ever given them "bottled hot water."

I don't know what he was talking about.

Who knows...Is this what McCain did with his own babies during the 1800's?

8. In the 50s & 60s before we had all the formulas we all gave our babies
water - warmed of course. I have seen many babies today who suffer from constipation that could use more water. What did the old man suggest?

5. you don't give water to babies at all
Sugar water, yes. Plain water, no. Just three ounces of water can kill a baby, same as chugging water killed that woman in the radio contest. Lesson here: McCain should not be left in charge of infants. Or anyone else.
