| We have made all Daniels bottles with tap water from 3 months. So he's had tap water for everything from then. If you are on town supply its fine to give. |

I think we put it off until Miss M was nearly a year old unless we didn't have any cooled boiled water on hand... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We started giving Ella tap water just after 6 months ( we could have done it earlier, but we were just playing it safe). ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |
