Water for 6mon old baby

How much water should a 6mon old baby drink? And at which times do you offer the water (eg while they are eating veggies/fruit, or between meals)?

I’ve been offering my baby water in a sippy cup but I am not sure how much water we should aim so that she doesn’t drink too little or too much.

FYI - up to now she has been drinking her formula milk as normal (ie 5 times a day) but as her veggie/fruit portions have increased the doctor adviced we eliminate 2 milk bottles a day, so her water intake will go down, that’s why I am concerned about making sure she gets adequate water.
