Nursery water?

How much nursery water for formula did you go through a week if you had twins?

We never used it. IMO, it was a waste of money.

Yep. Our pedi said not to bother with it. Tap water is fine.

The only time he had sterile water was to rinse his tubing in the NICU. As soon as we got home, we used tap water to mix his neosure.

We just boiled our tap water for 15 minutes.

Ditto. A big waste of money! We just used tap water, which my Ped encouraged since it has minerals in it that babies need.

We were actually told not to use Nursery water. Supposedly bad for their gums and teeth. We use tap.

The previous posters are correct, nursery water is a waste. However, if you have well water, you should consider using it.

Our NICU told us to boil our tap water. We had city water, which is harmless, but we still boiled it. In fact, she will be 9 months old this month and we are still boiling her water at our house and using a filter at my parent's house.

We used distilled water in the beginning; not Nursery Water brand because it is fluoridated and too much fluoride is bad--same reason I still don't use tap water. Even though we only do 2 formula bottles a day. We now use the large "drinking water" jugs (the ones that are larger than a gallon and have the little spigot spout). Hard to tell how much we used because they were constantly taking in more and more every day and every week.
