How can I get my 6 months old baby to like water?

r/

Where I live heat has beginning to rise and days are become hotter, but my baby doesn’t want to drink water. I’ve tried giving it to him on the same bottle where he usually drinks milk. On a different bottle. On a baby cup. By mixing it with some fruit to give it flavour. But nothing seems to work and he keeps spitting it. Any suggestions or tips I could use?

Thanks!

Edit: my baby started eating solids 2 weeks ago and the pediatrician recommended us to give him 3-5oz of water daily due to the heat.

    A 6 month old does not need water. Please discuss this with your physician. Too much water is dangerous for a baby.
