Explanation:

Infants under 6 months get all necessary hydration and nutrients from breastmilk or formula. Plain water can displace milk intake, leading to nutrient deficiencies, and may cause water intoxication in young infants due to immature kidney function. Thus, plain water is not recommended as a substitute when breastmilk or formula is unavailable.

Answer:

False
