What water do you use for formula?

Question

Does anyone use straight up sink water?

Answer

Depends where you live.
My area tap water is great, and I would use that. But there are places, where tap water is not meant for drinking...

Answer

Tap water. Definitely wouldn’t if I lived in Flint or something, but we’re good 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Bottled water for my son. Tap water is gross.

Answer

Boiled and cooled for the first 9 months, then we transitioned to tap water. We live in an area with amazing water sources, we drink our tap water - it was just extra precautions. We also sterilized our bottles before every.single.use just to try and reduce any potential contaminates during that time, while babies' immune system builds up. 
Technically I think we might have gone with it an extra 3 months than deemed necessary, but better safe than sorry? My son was transitioned to formula at 8 months and my daughter at 4 months, but we followed that same amount of time before slacking off some. We buy distilled when were out and about though, since I cant confirm that they clean their faucets like I do mine.

Answer

I use filtered water

Answer

Tap water is generally fine unless yours happens to be unsafe.

Answer

We filtered our tap- but we have a well, not city water.

Answer

Usually boiled a few times the baby water. Past formula stage they mostly drank from the tap; their dentist recommended

Answer

I boiled my kids water but if we was out and about I used bottle or jug water.

Answer

Definitely depends. 
We had well water at our old house and didn't even need water softeners. I even tested it, and the overall hardness was 80ppm. 
My new house would be a hard no as it's a well by both a farm and a lake. We bring jugs from the old house for drinking and cooking. 
Test your water before deciding anything.
