Don't give water before 6 months. If her weight gain and urine output is good, its unlikely to be because of inadequate breast milk. If its inadequate, you can consult for increasing your breast milk. If that doesn't work, formula.
The irritability at this age could also be due to teething. Try safe teethers. You can also freeze teethers before giving your baby as cool temp soothes better.
