when ok to stop boiling water?

[crazycanuck]

have I read somewhere that it's ok to stop boiling water for bottles/drinks after the age of 6 months? I have a 7 month old and was wondering if it's ok to give him filtered water straight from the jug instead of boiling it.

i did give filtered at 6 mths

Oh yes it's fine. Ds2 was crawling at 5.5 months and putting toys, shoes, pushchair wheels, etc in his mouth. I never boiled any water for him to drink or bath or anything. He's 2.5 now and seems fine

your suppost to stop boiling water at 1 year old xx

Definitely by six months IMO. By that age they like to lick shoes and the wheels of the pram! I don't think a bit of tap will do any harm. Didn't harm my two, certainly.
