A member asked:
Is it okay to give my 9 week old baby water?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Breast milk or formula are balanced forms of baby nutrition that seldom need any supplement. However, an ounce or two of water now & then can allow others to take joy in nurturing your baby if you wish & will not cause a problem.

Not necessary: Giving water might fill the babies stomach and make him feel full therefor ur baby might not want formula or breastmilk depriving h of nutrition.
