Which bottled water is safe to use for babies abroad?

[ashleigh123]

I’m going to Majorca, Spain in a couple of weeks with my 9 month old. Can anyone recommend the safest bottled water I can use with the lowest amount of sodium?

Evian definitely ok and you probably won’t struggle to find it. Otherwise look for a baby symbol on the back of the bottle. But I just go for Evian as it’s easy.

A lot of them have high levels of sodium Evian is safe but the formula you use will probably have info on their website with what the safe levels of sodium should be.

Evian.

In france everyone is advised to mix baby formula with evian

When I went Cyprus I saw they sold bottled Hipp branded water for babies.
No idea if it was low in sodium though.

Forgot to add they do sell special distilled water in pharmacies for babies I think

If you're travelling abroad with your baby, you can continue to give your baby her usual formula milk. However, it may be best to use bottled water instead of tap water to make up a feed. This is because the tap water in other countries may not always be as clean as the water here in the UK. Tap water abroad may also have different levels of minerals and purifying chemicals, which could give your baby a tummy upset.

When buying bottled water, check the mineral content of the water. Steer clear of bottled water with a high mineral content, and try to use still water that’s low in sodium. Look for Na on the label, which means sodium, and choose one that contains 200mg or less of Na per litre. Check the levels of sulphate (SO or SO4), too. The sulphate levels should be no higher than 250mg per litre

Some bottled waters are labelled as suitable for baby feeding, so go for these if you can. Make sure the seal around the cap is intact. This way you can be sure that the water has not been tampered with.
