Should 3 months old drink water?

Is it advisable to give my close to 3 months old baby water? My family members have been telling me to give my baby water but she isn’t having constipation. Should I?

No. Breast milk or formula is sufficient to keep baby hydrated if that's what the family is concerned about. Giving water below 6mo will cause water intoxication and interfere with nutrients absorption from bm/fm
