Is a newborn supposed to drink water as well?

No, the formula or breastmilk is enough

Water comes in later around 6mo's but always ask your pedi :)

Thank you! (: My mom was telling me I should have him try a little bit of water to see how he liked it but idk lol @katyloves.baby.s.

Your welcome, its really not necessary yet ^_^

Congrats on your newborn!!

i gave my some water at 3 weeks old because he was constipated and it helped

What no! They can get sick smh! This is 2016 not 1954 lol no offense! I wouldn't even dare my son was 5 months when I gave him some water!

doctors say no. that milk is all they need. but my son was born right in the middle of a hot hot summer.. so I gave him like an ounce.. and also chamomile tea when he was colicky.

I would wait till 3 months to give him an ounce or two of water ...unless your pediatrician says otherwise

@optimusviolet,

my doctor has told me absolutely no water as baby can drown. it didnt make sense to me but thats what i was told:/
