tap water?

NIfirsttimer · Feb 14th, 2010, 18:20 PM

Ruby is 7 months now, but im still giving her cooled boiled water, or bottled water when we are on the go, but am i right in thinking its ok to give her regular tap water now?

I honestly can't remember why they say to use cool boiled water, but we did that until we stopped bottles (right around a year) now Hannah just gets filtered water

I still give cooled bolied water as tap water tastes nasty. We have a water filter though so maybe I could use that!

yeah ours is plumbed through the fridge and filtered via that... so its not just regular tap water... if that makes a difference?

I don't know if it makes a difference but I like the taste better

It's fine to use regular tap water from 6 months. I stopped boiling Ruby's water at 7 months though I think.
