And yes I am aware that exclusively breastfed babies don’t require water, but giving them some just to get them used to it will not harm them. An ounce here and there for younger babies, and a few ounces for older ones. Trust me u will be thankful when they grow into toddlers (and when they start solids) if they’re happy drinkers.

You can start water around 6 months, that’s when most babies start solids as well. Water is not recommended for babies under5/6 is because it has no calories in it. Babies will fill their tummy with water but it won’t give them any nutrition.
