Is water necessary for newborns till 6 months old?

facing conflicting advices about the giving small amounts of water to babies. some saying that water is needed so that the mouth will not be dry etc. not sure if google advice is accurate that water will harm babies so consulted PD and she mentioned that milk is sufficient. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Milk is sufficient esp breastmilk since it is mostly water. Babies are actually smart enough to know if they're thirsty or hungry so, just feed on demand if you're breastfeeding.
