Can babies drink bottled water?

A friend told me that her health visitor said babies shouldn’t be drinking bottled water because of high mineral content and sodium in water? Ive been giving him bottled water since he started on solid foods about a month ago

Yeah they shouldn’t because their kidneys aren’t fully developed and the brands all differ with the minerals included. Probably not really been a problem with you weaning because your baby is probably not drinking much, but tap water is much better. I think its more a problem if people make formula up with it as it could add a lot of salt & magnesium which isnt good
