Hi my baby is now 4.5 months old. I'm giving boiled cooled water 5-10 mL from 3 months old . He is fully formula fed baby. Did I harmed my child health? Now I'm not giving as my doctor advised. But already I gave from 3 month. Nothing bad will happen right?

No problem will occur by giving water. Water is not recommended till 6 months of age because giving water has no calories. So weight gain will not happen if we give water. There is no harm caused
