Yes it can harm your baby. Babies’ guts aren’t meant to take water, and giving them that can result in diarrhoea, malnutrition and worse consequences. The international recommendation is for no water below 6 months. 6 months-1 year: boiled water After 1 yr: distilled water After 2 yrs: mineral water
