Yes its fine to give but try to avoid this in longer run, slowly and gradually reduce the amount of milk mixed in water.

11 month old baby can appreciate well what he needs and what he doesn't need. If he is thirsty, he shall definitely demand water. Mixing of water in milk means you are depriving him of his nutritional requirement. I shall not advise to mix water in milk.
