Holiday- formula

[Smsa123]

Hi. Can’t seem to find this information anywhere so wondering if anyone knows.
We’re going on holiday to Hurghada, Egypt with our 5 month old. Is the tap water there safe to make up his bottles with?
Thank you!

I would not risk it for a baby, even treated water can be an issue for adults as it's different to what we are used to. I would used purified water or buy ready mixed formula

No. Recommendation is bottled water.

Ready made is much less faff on holiday anyway

I did consider ready made but it will be a lot of weight to take (we’re going 7 days)

I’ll stick to using bottled water if I do decide to take powdered formula. Also another question when sterilising with Milton tablets would tap water be ok for that? Or is it safer to use bottle water for that too
