bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)
What do you use? We are switching to powdered formula and Im not sure what is recommened. TIA
do you boil water and store it for future uses or boil for the day? or do you just use bottled water? Do you do something else?

Re: bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)
I just use warm tap water. We did this with DD as well and never had any problems.

Re: bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)
I always kept a Brita Pitcher of water on the counter so I had room temp filtered water at all times.

Filtered water from the fridge is what we used for both girls. We have a filtration system on our water line and also on our fridge itself.

Re: bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)
I used boiled tap water at first and as he got older switched to regular tap water.
(FYI: Bottled water is not regulated under the same standards as tap water. I drank GASOLINE in bottled water and it was "legal" per bottled water standards. I only used it for my son if I HAD to and I would taste it first.)

Re: bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)
we are crazy, we boil, cool, then filter the water, but our parents were crazy too and its hard to break the habit 
I honestly think straight tap water would be fine.

Re: bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)

CVS has them for $20. You dont need a huge one since they only eat like 20-30 ounces per day and you end up dumping water daily and re-filling

Re: bottled water or boiled (powdered formula)
filtered from fridge.
most water on LI does not need to be boiled. you can check with your ped. to be sure. my SIL who lived way out East had well water and ped. recommended bottled water for baby.
