You’re supposed fo buy baby’s water for formula?

Question

What??? I’ve been boiling tap water all this time since 2008 when my daughter was born. I have 5 kids and was able to breastfeed 2 of them but for the rest of my kids I’ve boiled tap water for their formula. I thought that’s how you’re supposed to do it but I’ve seen videos of moms buying baby water for their formula 🤔

Answer

I use filtered fridge water 🤷🏻‍♀️ mine are all fine

Answer

It just depends on how safe your tap water is. If your tap water is generally considered safe to drink, and your child doesn’t have a compromised immune system, it’s perfectly safe to use for making formula. I never even boiled it. I just used the same filtered tap water I drink.
