When can I stop giving my baby cooled boiled water?

[EllieG]

She is going to be 1 in April. Does anyone know when she can drink tap water as rest of us do?

I think it's from 6 months as they are eating all sorts by then.
That's when I started giving tap water to DS and he's still here

ds has been drinking tap water since he was about 6 months, thats when he was crawling and putting allsorts in his mouth. i also stopped sterilising then.

6 months here too. I think if you look at net doctor it says 6 months on there.

Oh blimey what a numpty I am. I hadn't ever really thought about it til yesterday, was just part of routine - could've saved myself a job...silly lady. Now I think about it, I stopped sterilizing at about 8 months when she got more mobile and everything went in her mouth, so it doesn't make much sense really does it?

No cat, but she licks everything else. Has had normal water since yesterday and appears to be still alive!

one of the few fantastic HVs that I know said: well, they drink bath water so...

she's awesome.

totally agree with the licking the pet thing. when DS started getting mouthfuls of dog i stopped sterilizing etc. what was the point?
