It depends on the baby  and your pediatrician.
I was  giving my daughter  a few sips of water  at 4 months. Her pediatrician  said it was  fine. She never drank more than one ounce total in the whole day.
Technically they don't need water.  Formula and Breast milk will keep them hydrated

Babies are not recommended to drink before 6 months. They don't need it unless they are constipated,  and that's only if your doctor recommends it. They usually say 2 oz a day is fine for constipation. I would ask your doctor first.
