Bolied water for children

[jackie0]

should my 2-1/2 yr old (will be 3 yrs in 3 months) still be drinking bolied water. OR can I start giving him filtered water instead?

What's bolied water?

[Ms.Hijinx]

he should be on tap water by now hun give him whatever water you want to have a great day

[PinkFizz]

No,he can drink normal tapwater now.

[Loosehead]

you've been giving him/her boiled water up to now? Oh dear, immune system has a lot of catching up to do. Tap water from now!

[tradey]

he should have been having tap water ages ago from 1 thought only babies had to have boiled water

I would have been giving him tap water for ages by now. There's nothing wrong with non-filtered water, either :o)

oh thank gawd for that- i've been giving my now 19 month old juice diluted down with tap water since she was one. I had a panic attack till I saw the replies!

i work in a water testing lab and tap water is much better quality than bottled. filtered isn't any better and is worse if the filter becomes contaminated. you wouldn't believe how many complaints we get from customers and it turns out to be the condition of their filters that is causing the problem. tap water is fine from 1 year.

agree with all the above, gave mine tap water as soon as they used a cup, which was about 10 months old. 11 years later and all is well.
and i drink it too.
