Going to Cyprus in a few weeks and we will drink bottled water as not sure how safe it is to drink. Was a bit worried as remember reading that babies shouldn't have this as mimeral content to high. Any advice would be very welcome. Son will be 14months when we go.

I seem to recall reading that the sodium content is too high, I think you could probably find out online what constitutes too high.

Spring water is fine, not mineral water. (I believe)

use bottled water with the lowest sodium content as it would be safer than using tap water:

do I manage bottle feeding while on holiday? (also talks about giving bottled water as a drink)
