Boiling water for formula

I assume that most everyone uses a pot to boil their water for making formula. My pot is made in China and with all the news lately about products made in China containing lead I'm not sure I could use it with peace of mind. I was thinking about buying a pot made in the USA such as an All Clad. I also dont want to use anything to boil water that contains plastic either because of BPA concerns. I hope I'm not being paranoid, but I'm concerned about the water I will be using for formula to feed my baby. What does everyone suggest? Thanks!

Re: Boiling water for formula

you could use the nursery water that they sell

I just use purified water- either from my brita or bottled that I have in the house

Re: Boiling water for formula

The nursery water isnt sterile. At least,that's what the label on the bottle said. I would have to still boil the water since my daughter is only 6 weeks old.

Re: Boiling water for formula

I never boiled water. As soon as it cools it's not sterile anymore anyway. Just use a filtered tap, or if you really want sterile water, you can buy that too in the stores.

And if she's 6 weeks, you can use regular water, no need to spend money on nursery water or spend time boiling water.

My ped told me that I dont have to boil, just use filtered or bottled water.

I fill a glass pitcher with the filter from the fridge so it is room temperature for the bottles.

Re: Boiling water for formula

i've never boiled water. i just use room temp bottled water

Re: Boiling water for formula

I use to boil filtered water in a stainless steel All Clad pot. Never boil in any coated pots, such as nonstick.

Nursery water has fluoride, which I dont feel they should have if it could be avoided.

Re: Boiling water for formula

I never boiled water. Just had a brita on the counter and DS got room temp filtered water.

Re: Boiling water for formula

i used tap water run through the brita. leave it on counter so it is room temp.

Re: Boiling water for formula

I fill a jug using the water on the door of my freezer (filtered) and let it get to room temp.

I boil it in glass pyrex measuring cups in the microwave.

Re: Boiling water for formula

I use the Gerber water. It does not contain flouride like Nursery water. BRU sells it.

Re: Boiling water for formula

I've never heard of anyone boiling water for formula. We always used nursery water.
