My dh wants to know why it needs to be bolied. I assumed it was something to do with killing germs???

I still boil the water for drinking and formula but read yesterday in my birth to five book from the HV that the drinking water doesn't need to be boiled after 6 months.

i gave it from the tap since 6 months. and stopped sterilising too then. dishwash it all.
