water to newborns

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?

Breastmilk is basically water. If scared baby “heaty”, then offer breastmilk more frequently. If baby having fever or it’s a hot day then offer breastmilk more frequent than usual!
