如果纯母乳喂养，一般不用喝水，但是如果喝配方奶的话，两顿之间可以适量喂一点点水。

母乳喂养的宝宝完全不需要喝水，因为母乳中百分之80几都是水分。
吃配方奶的宝宝一般来说也不需要，除非在非常热的情况下。但是可以通过增加喂奶次数来补充水分。
四五周之内的婴儿不能喝水，原因请看这个链接：http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/baby-water.html
Guidelines for offering water to breastfed babies
Breastfed babies do not need water - keep in mind that breastmilk is 88% water. Even in the first few days after birth, before mom's milk has "come in", colostrum is all that is needed to keep baby well hydrated (assuming baby is nursing effectively). Per the American Academy of Pediatrics, "Supplements (water, glucose water, formula, and other fluids) should not be given to breastfeeding newborn infants unless ordered by a physician when a medical indication exists... During the first 6 months of age, even in hot climates, water and juice are unnecessary for breastfed infants and may introduce contaminants or allergens."
In addition, breastfed babies do not require water when it is very hot outside, assuming baby is allowed to nurse as needed. Baby can get all the liquids needed via breastmilk. A number of studies have determined that an exclusively breastfed baby does not need extra water - these studies have been done in various locations (both humid and dry) at temperatures ranging from 22-41°C (71.6-105.8°F) and 9-96% relative humidity [see references below]. Note: Formula fed babies do not routinely need extra water. Some sources do suggest offering water to a formula fed baby when it is very hot outside (though baby may prefer to get extra water from more frequent feeding), or when baby is sick with a fever (consult baby's doctor for guidelines).
For newborns (especially under 4-5 weeks), water supplements can be risky
For babies past the newborn stage

For newborns (especially under 4-5 weeks), water supplements can be risky
- Babies under two months should not be given supplemental water.
- Water supplements are associated with increased bilirubin levels in jaundiced newborns.
- Too much water can lead to a serious condition called oral water intoxication.
- Water supplements fill baby up without adding calories, so water supplements can result in weight loss (or insufficient weight gain) for the baby.
- Babies who get water supplements are less interested in nursing. If baby is not nursing as often as he should, it will take longer for mom's milk to come in and can delay or prevent mom from establishing an optimum milk supply.
For babies past the newborn stage
- Too much water can interfere with breastfeeding because it fills baby up so that he nurses less. Babies need the nutrition and calories in breastmilk to grow - water has none of these.
- Breastmilk has all the water your baby needs, even in very hot weather.
- When your 4-6 month old baby is learning to use a cup, giving him a few sips of water a couple of times a day (no more than 2 ounces per 24 hours) is fine and fun.
- Once baby starts solids, you might want to give him a few sips of expressed milk or water with his solids - some babies need this to prevent constipation.

I fed my boy with water after he was born. My boy is very healthy. I still think water is different from milk. After 3 months later, my baby began to drink juice from fresh fruit.In china, you are allowed to give water to baby but not here.
Both my two boys were breast+fornula feed. I gave them water in betwwen the
feeding. Not too much though.They are
all very healthy.
My understanding the nurse is concern about that if you feed the new born with
too much water, he/she will not have much anxious to get their milk.So it is just a matter of how much water you give them.
The winter is quite dry here is Canada, I
think it is fine to gave new born a bit of water.
