Does anyone else give cooled boiled water for their babies ? My little girl is 6 months tomorrow and I have been introducing her to water for around 2 weeks now still not to sure on it just yet. Just wondering if anyone else boils theres or just normal Tap water ???

I worked in a nursery and our policy is to make sure babies under 1 have cooled boiler water x

So I’ve just been doing the same with my little one but seen lots of others just use normal tap x

Boil and cool!, tap water is full of bacteria that boiling kills

My baby has cool boiled water, he’s 4 months and I give him some between feeds everyday and have done for the past month or so x

my little girl isn’t fussed on it either, I’ve put it in her normal milk bottle and she spits it out once she realises there is no milk & she doesn’t like sippy cups as she hasn’t quite worked them out x

yeah same as my girl she gets confused when she realises it’s not milk but I started her at 5 months with water when she started purées and she just don’t seem to like it lol but I’ll keep encouraging her as much as I can x

Started my little boy with cool boiled water at like 4 months old as he used to get constipated and he didn’t like it at all but then mixed in a very very small amount of chamomile and he loved it , also helps with their digestion…
Now he drinks like a champ And he is 6 months old

how much water do you give if you don't mind me asking 🙂

Just couple of sips until he stopped drinking there’s never too much just if you do mix with tea make sure you steep it in separate cup and add it like 2 teaspoons in the bottle. He use to have sometimes 30 ml a day now he’s been having more so any small amount in a day is fine it’s not gonna make them ill

I give my baby boiled water with meals as that’s the only time he will drink it. He drinks roughly 1oz and then he’s like nope 😂

I just use the prep machine minus the milk so I know it’s been filtered
