Cows milk on cereal

[Joburgmum]

Hi all - 2 quick questions I need help with please. Do I need to boil the cows milk that I put on my ds's cereal or can he have it straight from the fridge? Also, can he drink tap water yet or do I still need to give him cool boiled water? He is 8 months old.

milk straight from the fridge is okay.

tap water, um, are you in Joburg?

straight from the fridge
straight from the tap

i'm in the UK, if you're in joburg then i'm not sure if it differs.

Hi again - this is the first time I've posted anything and I didn't realise I'd get replies so soon - thanks!
Yes, I've been living in Johannesburg for just over a year and the tap water is safe to drink here - drank it throughout my pregnancy.

tap water then

Make sure it's full fat milk though, as semi is unsuitable for under twos and skimmed unsuitable for under fives.
