at what age is it ohk to not have to worry about boiling water for FF? 3 months when you dont really have to worry about sterilising/boiling bottles n teats etc?
I've heard you no longer have to boil water at 3 months if you're on a town supply, otherwise it's 18 months. I'll probably keep boiling until at least 4, just because even *I* don't like the taste of tap water so why would he
cool thats what i thought. but yeah i dont like the taste either lol. we thinking bout getting on of those big 5L bottles of spring water and using that, then when it runs out, fil it with boiled water since ill be drinking it too....
Kahlia, you could always try filling up bottles at the Speights tap too, that's just plain spring water I think. Or come out to Port Chalmers, our tap water tastes great!
I still boil the water and sterilise the teats...just not the bottles. More out of habit than anything else though!! I just fill up a second jug with boiled water and use that through the day.
We still use boiled water and I sterilise the bottles. The sterilisation is really because I figure that if I miss any milk residue on washing the bottles then they are still okay and safe. The boiled water is just that I leave boied water in the jug and it's just as easy to use that.
We still sterilize bottles/teats, but use tap water. Which sounds pretty silly when I think about it.
We use dummies, and as I think we should sterilize those I just do the bottles/teats at the same time.
Started using tap water about 7 mths.
