Using cooled boiled water to wash baby's face/hands - when can I use tap?

[BarrelOfMonkeys]

DD is 3 months old - can I use tap water to wash her face yet, or otherwise how long do I have to keep using cooled boiled water for, anybody know? TIA

I don't think I used cooled boiled water on my babies EVER. Used sterile water in sachets for eyes if infected, but otherwise, just used ordinary water.

I always have used tap water.

I never used cooled boiled water to wash a baby in.

Always used tape water, never sterilised a bottle. All dc's are alive and well and don't get ill very often.

I just used tap water from birth, unless for washing infected eyes

or tap water even .

I only ever used cooled boiled water to wash eyes if they were infected.

Thanks, we got told by midwife to use cooled boiled water (first child, can you tell?) but never thought to ask how long for. Tap water it is then!

To wash the baby? I've heard of it for eye-infections, or formula making, but never for washing. Always been bog standard from the tap for mine, and they are all still alive and well.

Spin that tap round m'dear, and fret not!

I still use it on my DD's eyes (she's 20 wks) as she is prone to eye infections, but have never used it anywhere else for either of my babies.

1st child - cool boiled water for first 6 months. 2nd child tap water from the start. 3rd child never gets washed.

Never bothered.

So I guess you can stop now.
