Can I use bottled water with newborn formula?

Question

Almost due with baby, do I need to stock up on jugs of that distilled water in the baby section for exclusively formula feeding? Or can I use regular water bottles I have at home? (sams club, Walmart brand)

Answer

You can use any water you are willing to drink yourself.
So if your tap is drink able, that is the least amount of hassle there.

Answer

Bottled water is fine, but it can get more expensive than the gallon jugs.

Answer

It’s crazy how different things are in the US to the UK.
You can only use boiled kettle water over here. Bottled water is unsafe as it’s not sterile and contains too much sodium/sulphites

Most municipal tap water is safe but check locally for yourself. Our baby was premature so our doc wanted us to boil the water first then cool it so as to kill any lingering bacteria

Answer

I’d just get a Brita and use the filtered water from that. More environmentally friendly and it’s saving you money/ time!

Answer

I mean you can, the thing is some forms of water have fluoride in it which can harm developing teeth
