Water for formula

hrhone328 · April 2013

For those that use powder formula, do you just use tap water or do you use filtered or boiled and cooled water? We have been using the ready made stuff, but have a container of powder of the same kind that we need to use.

I always used filtered water, but our city water was NASTY.

i think our tap water tastes funny, so i just buy gallon jugs of spring water at the store, and mix the stuff and serve to lo at room temp.

In Alberta canada they recommend boiled cooled water until 4 months of age.

I use filtered through the Brita and my husband uses tap and she seems fine. He can't stand waiting for the bottle to warm up. Men lol. I admit I've used the warm tap water too.

Our tap water is really hard so we don't use it. We use bottled spring water. With DD # 1, we just used the bottled water directly from the bottle. With DD#2, the health nurse came for a well baby checkup and noticed that we weren't boiling the water. She told us that even though its bottled, filtered water, that we still need to boil it to ensure all bacteria is killed.

So we now use bottled water, boiled and cooled to room temp.
