I don't think you are supposed to give water until 6+, ideally not until after that.
Water can make babies think they are full when they are not and it can also do damge to (I think) their kidneys

Re: when can babies have water?
I gave it when both my DCs started getting table food....6-8 mo old. I gave it in a sippy cup to begin to learn how when they got meals..so they associated water with meals

I would give a tablespoon of boiled water to the baby every now and then at 2 weeks. It helped with gas and helped with digestion. I BF my DS.
For more than that, I waited till he was 6 mths.

My ped said not till 6 months. That is when we started offering him water in a sippy cup. We never gave water in a bottle.
