Can i give her just a little water my twin daughter she's a week old ?

Water for baby: newborn babies don't need extra water, they get enough water from Breast milk or formula, a little water will not harm her as long as she feeds well, too much water can cause water intoxication. I recommend giving a little water if they wake up at night to prevent future tooth decay from milk staying in the mouth for long time durning their sleep. Good luck.
