Can I mix formula with filtered tap water?

Question

I bought a Brita water filter and I plan to only use it for my baby to mix formula with when she starts formula. Is it okay to filter tap water and do nothing else? I’ve tried researching this online and there’s so many mixed answers. It just confuses me even more.

Answer

I always used filtered tap water at home or bottled water if I'm out and about. I know there's mixed research on it, but even the CDC states that boiling the water is most beneficial for premies or babies under 2 months with certain underlying diseases. Otherwise assuming you have a safe water source, it's fine to use tap and/or bottled water

Answer

Guidelines here say to use part boiling water, to remove possible bacteria in the formula itself, and them next part cold water to give it drinking temperature.
Tap water here is in general among the purest/fines in the world, so noone use bottled water.

Answer

I personally wouldn’t, I only ever used boiled water….
