I sucsessfully had an orphan baby fed and watered for about 3 years in a previous fort.  For some reason the dwarves would always wait untill the baby had almost starved/dehydrated to death before giving it food/water,  which is what ultimately did it in.

....They just refuse to stay down unless butchered, in which case their skins will haunt you until you subdue and tan them. Never has legendary butcher and legendary tanner seemed so valueable as in this release.

Hrm, but I thought they grew to be children after one year, and thus could feed themselves? ???
Also, a 6/7 water fort would most likely cause your dwarves to die of thirst, ironically... Lots of 'Urist McRetard cancels drink: dangerous terrain!'
:P Have that problem in my other fort, where half the map flooded with lava and the other half water. Man, that was fun.
