In general, it's not a good idea to give your baby water until he's about 6 months old. Until then, he'll get all the hydration he needs from breast milk or formula, even in hot weather.
Giving a baby younger than 6 months old too much water can interfere with his body's ability to absorb the nutrients in breast milk or formula. It can also cause his tummy to feel full, which curbs his desire to feed. (While small sips of water probably won't hurt your baby, it's best to check with his doctor beforehand during those first six months.)
if you are breast feeding then you need to know that 94% of breast milk contains water and baby don't need any water when exclusive to it .and on the other hand if taking formula then he is having the water need in his formula water addition .
so ,it is not recommended
if you feel your baby is dehydrated his temperature is too high ,not responding to panadol or profen you need to consult his pediatrician .
however if you are the one with the baby having his fever aroun 37-38 degree he is still fine and probably not dehydrated don't worry ,
signs of dehydrations include 'baby irritability
dry mouth
sleepiness and tiredness
if you bunch his skin it will heavily return it will sticks
other symptoms may be clear by the doctor

No. Water is only added to a baby's diet upon the introduction of solid foods. Up until then the baby takes his/her needs of fluids through milk. If you wish you could use Babylyte with fever.
