Tap water
Hi, I went to weigh DS today, and they happened to be having a weaning chat. The HV said babies should have cooled boiled water up to a year old. I had been under the impression you could give tap water when lo reached 6 months. She wasn't budging on it. What do you give, how old is your lo? xx

I've given DD tap water since she was 6 months, I was told that was absolutely fine?? She's (touch wood) never had any tummy problems & she drinks lots of water!!! xx
However I live in a very hard water area so I didn't let my lo have tap until well after a year, I gave him bottled water.
The 'Birth to Five' book (that the HV give out!!!!!!!) says its fine for them to have tap water from 6 months. We've been doing this with dd.

Maybe it is to do with the soft and hard water areas... xx
but basically i think tap water is fine from 6 months. if we have another baby i will do that!
