Is he drinking milk from milk bottle? Maybe u can try putting water in milk bottle if u hvnt try it yet. Everyday, let him suck from it. Even if he doesnt suck, u can juz press on e bottle teat to let drips of water flow out. Everyday, do e same like tiz after every feeding. Sooner or later, he will get used to it and will drink it. Tiz is wad i do for my boy who is 7mths old now. At first oso dun like but now drinking water very well alrdy. If dun use bottle oso nvm. U can use a syringe. Squirt some water into his mouth. Always start from little bit of water first. Den slowly increase e amt. U muz maintain habit of letting him drink water after every feed. Itz like a routine. He muz get used to it first den he will start drinking den he will grow to like it.

My girl also started out not liking to drink water but slowly she learnt to accept it. Have a routine and start out with a little. Even if it's one sip, it's still a good start. Make it a big deal even if it's just one sip (i.e. clap hands). Or you can try sharing a cup with him. Make it look like it's really tasty. My girl only recently (14 months) learnt to suck from a straw so no worries about it. He will get to it one day.

10months old would love anything cold....my son is 8 months old and as soon as he knows theres cold water in the cup,even if he hates the cup he would attempt to take a sip or two....besides that you can get a silicone lid that he can drink from

what my sister's babysitter used to do is feed porridge then water then porridge again.alternate it. it confuses the kid but it does work.😂 sometimes we would tell them its soup.

Yes let him try from milk bottle or how about spoon feeding him water? My boy plays with water when I feed him.

also my son, so i use dropper ,then i put it in the inner gums so he can swallowed the water easily,
