Water for powder formula?

Anything I need to know about what water to use for powder formula?  My DH and I drink tap water through the Britta.  Is that OK for LO?  Do we need to worry about fluoride or anything?

  • We use bottled but I know plenty of people use the Brita filter!

  • we use the brita-if your water doesnt have flouride youll need to talk to your pedi about supplements.
  • We use tap water.  Britta will be just fine.  When we went out of town, we used bottled water since their water is very hard.

  • i didnt know there was special water to use- we just use bottled water- i dont drink from the tap

  • It should be ok. We use tap water without a filter because we have really good city water. If you're worried about fluoride with the filter, you can use Nursery Water. They sell special stuff for that reason.
  • We use the water right out of the tap but we have good city water. I asked my pedi and was told our tap water is fine, but no well water. I would think the Brita water should be fine, but my DS likes his bottles pretty warm so I normally just run warm water out of the tap and use it like that instead of heating bottles.

  • For anyone that is curious, my pediatrician told us today to use filtered (ie: Brita) tap water.
