No flaming... I am making the switch to formula. I have about 2 months of frozen BM, so, in the end my LO will be getting BM for awhile longer. I am going to do a 50/50 mix.
Is it recommended to use the floridated 'nursery' water or plain distiled?

We use regular drinking water or distilled. They seem to be doing just fine. Why pay a dollar extra for "baby" water, it's seriously just a label to make us spend more.
Our pediatrician told us as long as we're using "city water" that contains fluoride (vs well water that wouldn't) not to bother with special water. We fill the bottles straight from the tap! Save your $$

At home I use tap water out of a Brita pitcher I leave on my counter. However, when I'm out and about I have no qualms about using tap water directly out of the faucet.

This is what we do as well.

Re: Mixing powdered formula
I used both whatever is on sale...
We just use tap water.

Good to know... I don't think tap water is dirty, I just assumed it needed to be mixed with bottled water. Not sure why....
