determining if decay has
began is important. Let's say, you
have well water, it contains *no*
flouride...Which leads to decay early
on.
a new study shows that if you're formula
feeding you don't want to use water with
fluoride in it because the formula has
enough. Too much fluoride isn't good,
they're even trying to get that bottled
"nursery water" off the shelves.
I know that has nothing to do with this,
you just reminded
me.
thats weird. Most water in the uk has
flouride added to it and parents arent
told not to give formula or to get bottled
water instead.

.I missed this earlier, sorry.
We buy jugs of filtered water at the
store. They have these huge water
dispensers available, you just bring your
own containers (gallon jugs) and it's only
like 25 cents per gallon or something like
that. There are only two adults in the
house that drink water (.Alyvia is
exclusively breastfed), so it's pretty
cost efficient this way.
We definitely don't buy bottled water.
That is expensive.

Allie, isn't lucas a bit young for milk
Or
do you make the porridge with formula
milk/breastmilk?
I understood it wasn't wise to give cows
milk to infants under 12 months?
Other than that it looks like he gets a
great range of different foods.

The price of bottled water isn't that bad,
we do the same thing as laura. Our water
works out to be 13 cents a gallon.
Kia, we were told the same thing. Not to
give chu cow's milk before his first bday.

Our bottled water is $3.50 - $4.00 for a 5
gallon bottle....And we have to buy it
because we cannot drink tap water
either......Even with a filter I don't
trust it.

They do have water delivery services, but
we personally don't use them. My husband
and I both drive, so it's never been an
issue for us.
