Giving Water....what Type?? Bottled?..boiled??..help!! Posted: 08-10-07 20:59pm


Hi, I just started feeding my 5 month old cereal and some veggies. He is still taking breastmilk via a bottle. I was wondering what kind of water should I give him (if he needs a bit..sometimes when it is so hot/humid out, I find I maybe should give a bit of water..also to help prevent constipation)... What kind?? I have been boiling water, but when can I start to use 'regular' water from the tap?? or is this contraindicated? Or, should I be buying bottled water..and what type??..I know there is purified, distilled, etc.etc..all kinds...what kind do I give him?? HELP PLEASE!! Thanks, Susie.

I give my son distilled water. I was told to put a pinch of sugar in it so it has more of a taste but I dont know. My son drinks the water fine without sugar.
