Water for 3.5 month baby in summer

2019-05-18 08:24:52
My 3.5 month old baby is formula fed due to lactation difficulties. Today while going through an article in an app, I read that a formula fed baby need to be offered few ounces of water in summer. I was feeding her only formula till now, 120ml every 2.5 to 3 hrs. Should I offer her water occasionally? I had also read somewhere that babies cannot digest water. Please help.
