we just use the bottled drinking water. you can also use water straight from the tap if it's something you'd normally drink, or you can boil the water. I don't drink our tap water so using bottled water is easier and more time efficeint for us.

We use nursery water. You can find it at pretty much any grocery store, or Walmart, Target, Kmart.

My pedi said you only have to boil if you have well water.

Straight from the tap. Put water in, add formula, shake and serve.

I boil it but really haven't found it to be any inconvenience yet. I just boil enough for the day at once so I don't have to do it. I don't know if it's really necessary since our water is good to drink but I haven't taken that chance yet.
