Does my baby need to drink water?

In general any baby who is breast fed or formula fed will not need to drink any additional water or juices apart from their daily diet. However if your baby is running a fever or if it is especially hot outside and you don't have air conditioning, then the baby should drink water: 1 to 2 ounces of water given whenever the baby seems especially tired might help your baby to perk up and avoid dehydration.
