tap water or cooled boiled water

[muslimah28]

i read on here the other day about giving tap water to 6mo +. What do you do? Is it necessary to boil the water and let it cool? Asked dh who is a phamacist and he reckons its fine from the tap cos itsbeen purified.

Tap water's fine from 6 months. I only found out when DS was 8 months or so and I'd been boiling water and letting it cool - pointless!
