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

It’s best not to, as some high high mineral and sodium content (some is just bottled tap water).

I use cooled boiled water for my little one

I have been using tap water x

Thank you so much ladies! I will give him just tap water from now on xxx
