I also read everywhere that it's not necessary to give any water at this stage. They say your milk will provide the baby with enough hydration. But my sister's new-born developed a severe colic (tummy ache due to gas) at the beginning, so her doc in Switzerland recommended her to give him fennel tea. Ever since, he kind of got used to it and he drinks it on a regular basis, although his colic is gone.
