When to stop giving boiled water

[bigbubbabelly]

I have a 5 and half month old baby. I was wondering when do you stop giving boiled water. I give it to her after a meal a day and she loved it as it is very hot in our house no air con!

My son is nearly 14months and I still boil his water for his drink. The dams are pretty low at the moment, so there might be more stuff in the water than normal. I don't mind doing it, so I am going to keep going.

My CHN recommenced 12 months but said I didn't have to worry about boiling DS bottles after 8 months.

Hi all,not wanting to scare anyone but i boil all our tap water due to the fact that Giadia & Crytosparidium (bacteria`s found in our water) aren`t totally killed off by water treatments,and can be very harmful to little one`s if they pick up a tummy bug.I had a very bad case of Giadia bug last year & it took me four months for it to clear and never ending Antibiotcs,gives you very bad vomitting & diareah.Babies don`t have a good enough Immune system to be able to handle the bacterias either. Just wanted to share this.
