Forgot to say- It might also depend on where you live as to if the tap water is safe!!

Tap water, boiled then cooled for babies. Toddlers can have tap water from the tap. It is safe- we used to use it in pharmaceuticals at pharmacy school.

I think its a gimic.  Bottled water hasnt been that common for to long. I used tap for my daughter 10yrs ago our parents used tap so forth. Unless you dont drink ur tap water and or know something is wrong w it I think ur baby will be fine. I have an old well an use bottled water but my cities tap is fine an I drink it.

Don't give distilled water to your baby! Google it. Not safe. Talk to your dr/pediatrition.

I used tap water with my first two. I'd never heard of using anything else and still hadn't until I read this post...

I've never used tap water with any of my children. I buy either nursery water or Gerber has water called pure its cheaper than nursery water. My children's Dr always said to use boiled or bottled water not tap water

I used tap water as well. Doc was asking me if we were on the town water supply because they add flouride. We have a well so I had to get her a seperate perscription for flouride drops. Unless you have problems with your water, there's good stuff in tap.

You can use cool tap water and warm it up once mixed, or bottled water. Doesn't make any difference

Its common practice to use cooled boiled tap water where I'm at but we don't have any problems with our water.

I always used distilled!  And i don't think I matters the brand as long as it's distilled!  I'm pretty sure it says it in the instructions on the can! Maybe a good filtered water is fine every once in awhile!
