Exclusive breastfeeding is advisable till 6 months, since baby is already on formula you can give boiled water. Boil the water for 15 minutes after the bubbles appear. Use a spoon and bowl for feeding the baby. Do not use bottles.

First 6 month baby should be on breast milk only nothing else.
If you have started formula milk that must be diluted in water only and also you have started banana in that case you may give water but it should be boiled at 100*c for at least 10min and then you can cool it and give to your baby.

Yes, u can give water. (Give boiled n cooled water). No more than 2 ounces in 24 hours. U can also give puréed vegetables n fruits, small amount of yogurt, dal ka paani, rice water etc. But slowly introduce these food items. Take special care of hygiene
