STMs - sterile water uses?

carastar29carastar29 member
in November 2013 Moms
An acquaintance gave me a whole bunch of 'addipak's - basically these small vials of sterile water. (She gave them to my DH to give to me, therefore I missed out on getting any kind of explanation on what to do with them.) Her twins were micropreemies so I'm guessing she had a reason to use them, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what on earth I'll use them for... any ideas/insight? Or should I just get rid of them?

    Some mom's use distilled water etc. for making bottles of formula but if you're planning on BF'ing you really don't need them.  I'm guessing she had them because of her micro-preemies.

    I have no idea. I might check if you have a local Facebook group for moms and see if any one in there could use them

    They'd probably be awesome if you were using formula and could put them in the diaper bag. Lots of my families have used special nursery water or distiller water. However I've had 2 that just used a Brita pitcher and 3 others that used faucet water.

    Are you having a boy? If you get him circumcised the gauze may stick to the wound and you could use that to loosen the gauze. Maybe if gauze gets stuck to the belly button stup you could use it the same way.

    Maybe for a humidifier if you use one. The only time I've used distilled water is for steaming clients faces during facials and in the neti pot at my docs suggestion.

    I never used it, but I've seen it in the stores and wondered what was the point.

    When we had to start supplementing w formula around 9 months, we just used regular tap water to mix bottles. I guess if you had a micropreemie, it might be different.

    Just googled this and it seems they are typically used for inhalation therapy, like nebulizers. Huh.
