Water for making formula

I have been using boiled filtered water to make bottles, but I was over at my friends at the weekend and she was using water straight from the faucet! ?what type water do you use to mix formula? ?

Re: Water for making formula

  • I used to do the same but now I just use the faucet water. If I drink it then it is good enough for her to drink. Plus our water really is pretty clean.

  • We use water from our Brita pitcher. ?We keep it out on the counter so it's room temp though.
  • Straight from the tap. Pedi said if we can drink it, so can she.

  • Bottled water. I know its not necessary and tap is fine, I just feel bad having him drink the tap water if we dont

  • Filtered tap water usually, and bottled when we travel---but he did have bottles made with hotel tap water last week. He lived. :) I've never in my life boiled his formula water.?

    this.

  • Tap water.  As long as the water is fine where you live it isn't a problem.
  • We have a filtered water spigot on our icebox door so that's what we use. ?I have used tap water before though. ?At my parents' house I have to either boil and filter b/c they have a well or bring bottled water.

  • DS is bf'd, but on the rare occasion that he has gotten formula, I have always used tap water. That is what we drink so I figure that it is fine for my kids as well.

  • We always bought bottled water because we have a well. Our pedi said all tap water, except well water, was fine for her.

  • I guess I never really thought about it- we have always used boiled tap water.
