They say babies can't have water because it fills their tummies but has no nutritional value. So basically, it's almost like they are eating for no reason.

Hey
I know when my niece was an infant and if she'd like spit up or something, we'd give her a few drinks of water to wash out her mouth. Lol. Who wants to keep a spit uppy mouth! I dunno, water isn't bad for them, it just dosent' benifit them!
