Yes, you can drink water while nursing. In fact, since nursing mothers have increased fluid needs, drinking water before or while nursing is good for your hydration and indirectly supports milk production.
One important point: giving water directly to your baby. The World Health Organization (WHO) and general pediatric guidance recommend that babies receive only breast milk (or formula) for the first 6 months. So you drink the water, but don't give it to your baby separately.
If you have no health concerns, keeping a glass of water nearby while nursing and sipping as you wish is a perfectly healthy habit.
