Mother's milk is a complete food for the baby that is why it is always recommended to exclusively breastfeed the baby till first six months post birth.
The initial portion contains the watery foremilk that takes care of hydration and the later portion that is the hind milk takes care of nutrition and is rich in fats.
So there is no requirement of giving any kind of juice or water to the babyAfter 6 month complete you can start weaning your child with simple foods that are prepared at home or cerelac, nestum kind of Pre- prepared baby foods.
At that time you can also start giving water but it is always preferable to avoid using salt sugar and honey till 1 year.
