I had same problem with my ds (7 months), I have been adding a small amount of hipp organic ready diluted apple and grape to water (about 1 part in 4 water ) and he takes it, otherwise he just uses the water as a mouthwash! I find it easier to give the water out of a little beaker or cup. I don't worry too much about how much he has I just offer water after each meal and as long as his poos are alright I don't worry (hope thats not too much info!). X
