Mother's milk is enough for at least week, but from then onwards, clean fresh water should always be provided, particularly from the time that the calf begins to nibble solid food. This is because milk goes into one of the compartments in calf's stomach (via their 'oesophageal tube' which opens when they tilt their head back to take milk) and solid food, plus the water to help digest it, goes into another part of the stomach.
