It's actually not good to give babies water before 6 months of age and even then only 2 ounces at a time and usually after they have had a meal. Water can be dangerous for babies, and they can suffer from water intoxication

My pediatrician wanted my daughter strictly on formula only until 12 months, so no juice, water or anything else like that. They loose out on important nutrients when you just give them water. You should ask your doctor though and see what he thinks.

at 3 months she should be having milk. Water is good to give before bed when they get to be 12 months. At 3 months each feeding should be milk, they are needing the nutrients in the milk, and should be having milk about every 3-4 hours.
