My baby only drinks formula. Do I need to give them water too?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Babies under 6 months don't need water — breast milk or formula provides all the fluid they need. For babies over 6 months, small amounts (about 30-60 ml daily) of boiled and cooled drinking water can be given once they start complementary foods. The exact amount is best to check with your pediatrician.
