I have been given a heter to drink an ounce of water every 9 minutes this YK due to health issues.
I have a question.
Do I make a Bracha each time I drink?

There are different dayos...4 minutes is the shortest and 9 is the longest.

Pity you didn't ask the rov when he told you this.......

I guess she can call him back. You should ask a rav.

JMO, when I had to drink on YK, being that my dh is a paramedic, he made me drink Ensure, instead of water. At least I also got the nutrients I needed then to nourish my baby inside me. My doctor had wanted to me eat peanut butter sandwiches, so I opted for the Ensure instead.

bracha rishona is made on any amt, but you don't make bracha acharona on less than a shiur. (When I had this, after giving birth just before YK, I ate small chunks of grilled liver.)
