Hi mommies! My MIL says to give my 2 weeks baby a lil water to drink so that his body wont be heaty over drinking breastmilk. Will it harm my baby if I feed him a lil water?

I gave my baby water when she is nb. Firstly I don't believe in the no water below 6 months. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm a mama that go by logic. When we were young we were not told that no water below 6 months. We manage to grow up too right? Secondly we as adult I ask you don't drink water just drink sweet drink can you take it? No right? Don't forget bm is sweet too.
