No need if your baby poo poo is nice. But if baby is having constipation, then you need to give a bit of warm water. Maybe less than 50ml a day

Exclusively breastfed babies do not require additional water even when it is very hot outside, as long as baby is allowed to nurse as needed.

If your baby already started solid, it's OK to give a small amount of water since solid food can cause constipation

No need to since bm is largely water. But if you want or bm not sufficient, can give a little bit ba.
