You can bathe him in baby shampoo now. You can try water when he starts to eat puppy food and gets weaned from formula. Often times they drink last since their puppy food is soft and watered down to help them chew it at that age. They get the water in that mixture instead of drinking. Once they transition more to dry food you will notice the water consumption increase
