What is the deal with weaning, BF and water?

Is it still OK for baby to just have breast milk? (6 months, just started with a few tastes - veggies mainly)

Doing BLW.

Does baby need additional water now or is it later when she is actually taking food? At the moment it's being thrown / spat out lol.

I would give a small amount of water in a cup with meals. more to get used to the cup than the water tbh

Water isn't a necessity, but I would start giving it with food. Just to get used to using a cup, and drinking something other than breastmilk. I would expect it to be played with and not particularly drunk from for a fair while.

I've been giving DS a cup of water with meals to get him used to drinking water. He's also taken to food with gusto and is eating a lot. That combined with the recent hot weather gave him a touch of constipation. Extra water seemed a good plan for this too.
