FF'ers: Water question

Bubbles1022

What kind of water do you use to mix your formula?  I don't have bottled water in the house.  Can I boil tap water, let it cool and use that?

TIA!

Yep! That's what we do. I was told from my Dr to use tap water because it has flouride in it. But make sure you boil it first and cool in the fridge:)

My pedi told me that tap is just fine as long as it is city water and not well water - no boiling necessary!

I've got a water cooler (like offices have) since we've got well water.

Our well water tested positive for nitrates, so when I was pregnant DH installed a reverse osmosis water filtration system. I use that. As far as I know, like pp said, as long as it is city water, no boiling should be necessary. Ask your pedi or call your pedi's nurse if you want to be sure.

We use it straight from the tap

I just use regular old tap water. We have good city water so I don't boil it or anything like that.

I use filtered tap water.

We have well water and a reverse osmosis system as well.

Distilled water.

We used to boil tap water until DD turned 2mo. Then our doctor said boiling water and sterilizing bottles wasn't necessary anymore. He said boiling water is more for people who use well water or other sub-par living conditions.
