Please dont Give your baby water regardless of if it has fluoride in it or not. Water will call babies to drown on the inside as there small body can only take so much fluid before it dilutes there electrolytes (especially sodium) to the point of serious injury (search hyponatremia seizures) and/or death. Milk is safe because it has electrolytes dissolved in it so it won’t dilute the blood when absorbed
