A baby up till 6 months old do not need extra water beyond the milk he/she is getting. Between 6-9 months old, while solids are introduced and being established, the baby's milk intake should not reduce by alot. So I usually recommend to give some sips of water during and after solid meals, which really may not even come up to 1-2oz. After 9-12 months, that amount can increase a little as baby is taking more solids and even some snacks in between, probably around 4-6oz. It would be easier if baby learns to drink from open cup or straw so baby is more in control of how much he/she wants to drink. offer a little more of the day is really hot or baby has been more active.
