water to newborns

No water recommended for babies below 6 months old. Water interfere with nutrient absorption from breast milk or formula. There's also risk of water intoxication (I've heard of baby who was affected even with just 1 oz of water). Can just use a wet cloth to clean baby's tongue. And breast milk itself is 88% water so baby will not be dehydrated or "heaty". Our breast milk is adjusted to the needs of our babies anyway.
