Can a 9 month old drink bottled water?

I know it's not recommended to make up a formula feed but my mum has been giving him bottled water in his free flow cup which I didn't think was recommended? I personally use tap water for him now instead of boiled water so what's the best, tap or bottled. The area we live has soft water from the tap not hard.

    Tap water is best.  The bottled water has too high a concentration of minerals.  I think it is Evian that is ok, but I wouldn't use it as a matter of course more as a one off.

    Agree with the others. Tap water is best

    Same as JB the sodium content is too high, but you can get low sodium bottles water (i think Evian is the main one).

    TP I'm so glad I read this, were going to wales next month and I was planning on taking bottled water to use with the perfect prep machine as I wasn't sure how O would take to the change in water! Scrap that plan then!!
