: : : : A three week old is probably too young to get anything but formula or breastmilk. I could be wrong here, but you don't want to confuse her. That said, if you definitely want to do it, do it with a baby bottle. I don't think a three week old is sophisticated enough to take a cup or spoon without choking on the water.

: : : I agree , water is not good for little babies under 3 mths, too much can thin thier blood and they can get sick, if ur baby is not filling up with breast milk then try a bottle at night or a pacifier

: this there blood.im sorry im in nursing and have 3 babies and have never ever heard that? weird u get that? curious?

Yes it is true, water is not meant for little babies.
