According to http://www.babycenter.com/404_when-can-babies-drink-water_1368488.bc In general, your baby shouldn’t drink water until he's about 6 months old. Until then, he gets all the hydration he needs from breast milk or formula, even in hot weather. Giving a baby younger than 6 months old too much water can interfere with his body's ability to absorb the nutrients in breast milk or formula. It can also cause his tummy to feel full, which curbs his desire to feed. In rare cases, a baby who drinks too much water can develop a condition known as water intoxication, which can cause seizures and even a coma. Water intoxication happens when too much water dilutes the concentration of sodium in the body, upsetting the electrolyte balance and causing tissues to swell.

1week ng hindi tumae yung baby ko so pinacheck up ko siya sabi sa pedia baka kulang yung milk na pumapasok sa tiyan niya eh pure breastmilk denidede niya so inadvice sakin painumin ko daw ng tubig yung 1month and 22 days na baby ko

How old is your baby? Pag breastfeeding po no need for water na muna kasi your milk is 90% po. Pag start na sya kumain (6 months) pag take na sya solid food thats the time your baby needs water.
