At what age can you give babies tap water?

[bumbleweed]

rather than cooled boiled water?

i started iving dd bottled water at around a year old.our tap water tastes manky so i buy bottled.

as soon you start weaning..

I stopped giving cooled boiled tap water at 6 months and just gave it straight from the tap iirc.

...........at 6 months

thanks ..

dd's 25wks, still breastfed so not giving water as a general rule, but she's been quite sick today so worried about fluids

so just tap water in a clean cup should be ok? I read on here that no need to sterilise.

if she's still a bit ropey i'd stick w/cooled boiled water for now.

I agree with Expat that if she's unwell give cool boiled water. I still do that now and mine are big!

10 months.

but revert to boiled water or evian when he's poorly.

cheers - she has managed to bf and is keeping it down so dont think need to now but thanks for the advice
