We use filtered tap at home and a low flouride bottled on the go. Some flouride is actually needed for strong teeth development and is actually recommended by the cdc. The big concern is fluorosis with large amounts of it but as long as there is good dental hygene then there shouldnt be any discoloration of the teeth. The ada says that a proper amount of flouride reduced baby tooth decay by up to 60%.
I was originally told tap is ok, but then told no fluoride until teeth come in. It's so hard bc you hear so many things:( I now use just bottled, a gallon of spring water. I usually keep a bottle in the diaper bag of a 20oz. The other two kids I used tap and they are fine.
I only use nursery water unless I'm in a huge pinch then I use my pur filtered water but water in charlotte N.C. is like 2 points away from being toxic...its bad!!
Just plain 'ol tap water. None of that stuff, boiling, bottled, etc is necessary. All spring water is municipal tap water...the SAME as what you get from your sink.
