Hi,

If you are breastfeeding then there is absolutely no need to give extra water. Mother's milk has 88% water content in it.
Untill your baby turns up 6 months old, don't give me anything else other than your milk.
I have not given anything expect breastfeed to my baby untill he turns up 6 months and there's absolutely no problem at all.
I suggest you to completely trust your doctor. He must have examined your baby and since your child is growing normally and healthy, he will not recommend you to give any other feeds, even water.
Let your child grow naturally and feed your baby with your milk exclusively. Untill unless you are short of milk. If your milk level gets down then try the stuff to increase it rather than introducing any other feeds.

I hope above suggestions will help you.

Regards,
Sunayana
