Ped told us to use tap water, so that's what we use. We're in Queens. At my parents on LI, we use filtered water out of their fridge door.

If we're traveling and I don't know the local water supply, then I use bottled water.

usually filtered water from the fridge. But when I'm out I'll use any bottled water instead.

I thought nursery water was supposed to be bad for babies bc it has fluoride?

does anyone know how much more fluoride vs tap?

Voted for Brita but when we are away in vacation I use Poland spring bottle water. I was told it its one of the few that discloses it's source and submits to testing.

When ds was a nb my ped said no to bottled since it was not sterile and suggested I use boiled water. It was so easy, I would boil water in the morning with the teakettle and just leave it on the stove during the day and use!
