It is not advisable to give water to a baby before their age of 6 months because their body(such as kidneys) are not able to handle excessive fluids and it may lead to serious complications as a result. Exclusive formula-fed or breast milk should be the only way to hydrate them. The common reason why baby hiccups is mainly due to over feeding or swallowing alot of air during feed. You can try burping your child after feed. Or perhaps take a break between feed to burp your child to prevent hiccups.
