Wow Dee, that's interesting. I've never heard that before - that babies don't need water until they are over 12 months and that it has to be cooled boiled water.

Jacob started having water very early on......and it was cooled boiled water then, but by the time he was 8 - 9m old we stopped sterilising his bottles and the water and just gave him tap water (one of our taps has a filter on it anyway).....since our CHN told us that since he's crawling around and putting stuff in his mouth it's a bit pointless sterilising IYKWIM?

It's so tricky when you get such a wide variety of information on these kinds of subjects isn't it!!!
