Can I give water to a newborn? Answer to mom's question

The recommendations of the World Health Organization state that until the child reaches the age of six months, no additional fluids other than breast milk are required. However, our grandmothers, aunts and friends, as well as books about raising children, on which more than one generation of Soviet citizens grew up, say the opposite - a child needs to be drowned with water. Which of them is really right? Can I give water to a newborn? Is this useful?
