Id use boiled/cooled personally, when shes 6 months I think tap would be fine as long as it's filtered if you live in a hard water area and you need to be careful with some bottled water as they are not suitable for little ones. I buy Evian if I buy bottled.
Normal juice, id have thought from 6 months but make it more like flavoured water rather than juice. I prefer giving Bethanie water most of the time, then every so often she has juice.
Hope that helps.

I give Colton juice already. He had REALLY bad problems with constipation and it helped. I only do 2oz of baby juice to 2oz of water a day, around noon; and he poops at least once a day now, and he doesn't cry when he tries like he used to.. and we have been able to stop giving him suppositories. We've changed his formula three times and he has been on meds for his constipation.. but so far the juice has been the best!
I just use tap water. We have city water here though and it's supposed to be the best for babies. My pediatrician told us that anyways. My sister-in-law's pediatrician said it's because it has floride in it.

Thanks girls - I want to dilute her juices anyway now & 6 months+ thejuice is pure flavour ...hence the water question. Thanks for the tip on bottles water. We did wonder if tap water filtered but not boiled would be ok.
no filter water or bottle water for babies, I enquired into this for our hols and also read somewhere that you shouldnt use filter water to fill your kettle to make bottles
You can filter your water for bottles! Also confirmed it through HV but a lil info I found:

Tap water should be boiled for babies up to six months of age. After that it can be offered straight from the mains supply. If you wish to use a filter that is your personal choice, but do follow the filter manufacturer's instructions and keep filtered water in the fridge, as the filtering process removes some of the additives, such as chlorine, used to keep tap water fresh.
