I use cooled boiled water to dilute juice for Oliver, but i usually just buy the Hipp ready to drink one..having said that Oliver finds it a bit too strong so usually have to add some extra water to it anyway! Normal juice can be given very diluted at 6 months, at least thats my GP told me. x

i gave the heinz baby juice till he was 6 months, now he has normal baby juice but very diluted, and i used to use cooled boile water but now i do it straight from the tap lol. xxx

The companies like Brita would not say its ok if not

Where we lived the water was a bit YAK and our kettle was showing limescale LOADS that we noticed bits every couple of days so filtering the water is soft & clean but is perfectly fine.

If you see what they say though
Water from a filter jug may also contain high levels of bacteria.

What does a normal kettle hold other than the waters not had a quick filter through?

and its boiled anyway, is the filter water nice? I've always been meaning to buy a filter jug.

I think it may depend on your areas water too - We noticed a big difference in taste. Tea & coffee is much nicer. You could taste a difference for a very short while but I guess you expect to when you spend a fortune lol

I got an ebay bargain on the kettle (£50 in comet etc) and a years worth of filters on Amazon for just about £25 in total because I had some free Amazon vouchers as well as them being half price...was well pleased lol

I really must give it a try, our water is very good though and is tested in our area very regurlarly but I can imagine the filter water would be nice

i was told that you can use tap water from 6mths as baby can stomach it better. up till then i used boiled water that i had cooled

I aksed my HV about the juice thing as I started buying Heinz & HIPP and she told me not to use baby juice cos its actually worse than normal juice?

I've still not had the chance to compare .... but I stopped buying the baby juices as Noah was only having a tiny bit and the whole bottle was getting wasted (and they don't come cheap)

I just give him a drop of sugar free blackcurrant with cooled boiled water.
