Water requirement is as per the need. If the baby is taking milk most of the times, he may not feel thirsty.
Water should be offered as per demand. If the baby is passing urine 6-7 times a day, it is perfectly normal.
By this time they can chew the food.
Try reducing milk and try semisolids, finger foods now
