When should I start giving water to my baby, and how much should I give daily?

At 5 months, you don't need to give water yet. Breast milk or formula covers all of your baby's fluid needs. Once you start solids (usually around 6 months), you can introduce a few sips of water with meals: 30–60 ml (a few teaspoons) daily is plenty. More than that can fill her tummy and reduce intake of her main milk feeds.
Right now, the measure is simple: if your baby's diapers are soaked 5-6 times daily, her fluid intake is fine. When you do introduce solids and water, I can give you more details on cup choices and timing.
