Water with added fluoride??

Question

First time using powdered formula. I didn't realize I grabbed a jug of water that contains added fluoride. Is that normal? Or should I wait and get a different jug that doesn't have fluoride? breastfeeding but using formula as well so if I have to I can wait to get new water. 
Please refrain from rude comments. Lol I just can't find a straight answer on Google. 😅

Answer

I would avoid any additives. And used cooled boiled water with formula.

Answer

My pediatrician knew which zip codes in the area had fluoridated water so when I started supplementing formula at 8 months with my first, she told us to get the fluoridated kind. I’d ask your ped 😊

Answer

We formula fed our first and our pediatrician said filtered water, like from the fridge, was totally fine to use. We never bought any jugged or bottled water. We just used that.

Answer

Here’s what I found:
“When they are younger than 6 months old, breastfed babies and babies fed infant formula do not need fluoride supplements or formula mixed with water that is fluoridated. It is safe to use fluoridated water to mix the formula if your baby is younger than 6 months old, but there is a small risk of "fluorosis."”
It goes on to say that fluorosis is just mild white streaking on the teeth that is usually only noticeable by dental professionals and posses no risk to tooth function. So basically it sounds like you’re fine to use it if you want!
