Hi guys,
Does anybody use bottled water in the kettle to make babys formula up. Me and my husband drink bottled water all the time and we use it in kettle too we just don't like tap water tastes vile. So was wondering will it be ok if I use bottled water in kettle for the babys formula too or Can that not be done.
Many thanks

Tap water tastes vile I don't drink it and I don't want baby drinking it either..it also has a load of crap in it that's no good

What 'crap' is in your tap water that is 'no good'
I can accept it might taste unpleasant but when mixed with formula the baby won't notice the taste.

Don’t take a risk with babies and sodium. Use the tap water.

You are setting your baby up for so many issues at nursery / school in the long run, if you don't get them used to normal tap water. They will need to drink the tap water there. I live in London and think the water is horrible compared to where I grew up in North Yorkshire, but I've got used to it and made sure both DDs will drink it.
