Is water necessary for newborns till 6 months old?

facing conflicting advices about the giving small amounts of water to babies. some saying that water is needed so that the mouth will not be dry etc. not sure if google advice is accurate that water will harm babies so consulted PD and she mentioned that milk is sufficient. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No water until baby is 6 mths and above. Have you heard of news that baby died after feeding with water? Yes, it does happen! Breastmilk is sufficient and it also contains water so baby does not need more water.
