it depends on if you live in a place w/ hard or soft water. I wouldn’t feed the baby hard water even w/ the filter.
Provided you live in an area with a safe water supply, it’s just fine to use tapwater.
Around 4-5 months I stopped boiling water and stopped buying bottled water..and purchased a Brita Filter System and use that. As long as you know the tap water is healthy enough for human consumption ( no well water) and using that filter, you are good to go.
My son’s pediatrician said it’s not necessary to buy nursery water. She also said not to use bottled water because it is not have strict regulations on it’s purity. She said the best thing to do is to use tap water that is purified. We fill our Brita with tap water an leave it on the counter. That way the water is purified and it’s at room temperature and I don’t have to warm his bottle. He’s 8 1/2 months now and we’ve been doing it since he was born. Works great for us. The pur water filter is just as good. I would stick to that.
My docot said to use tap water that had been boiled for 5 minutes!! No need to buy special water… its just a gimmick!
I just have a thermos and boil a kettle of hot water, pour it in the thermos and it stays hot for about 24 hours after. That’s what I use to mix my formula. I wouldn’t drink tap water myself (no matter where I live) so there’s no way I’d use it to mix my baby’s formula with her sensitive tummy.
