I was givign bottled water for babies but later on I had to swich to general bottled water but someone suggested me that general bottled water had pasticides included. I think filtered water is the best choice. What do you say?

Purified drinking water is the best for babies,mostly warm.

I think filtered water is the best. But for both my kids (one is 7 now and the other is 14 months), I used bottled water which was boiled. The older one is now on bottled water and the younger one is on boiled bottled water.

This is a very good question. There's so much concern today about our drinking water, and rightly so. We live on a planet that is saturated with chemicals, pesticides, and all kinds of other waste products. Our babies (and elderly) are most vulnerable to the ravage these things can do. I used to buy plain bottled drinking water in the gallon jugs for my babies. Some parents buy those gallon jugs of nursery water. I would suggest that you simply do your research and choose what you feel best going with. Read labels, research different bottled water online, talk to your pediatrician. If your baby is not getting ill from the water you're giving them and is healthy and thriving, you're probably making the right choices.
