So we do one day with our city water (has fluoride) and one day with bottled water without fluoride. </p> <p>Here's an article from the CDC I shared with DH: <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/safety/infant_formula.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/safety/infant_formula.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-water#post-2446739 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 17:29:02 +0000 macintosh 2446739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to use Nursery water by our old ped. I but that or Target brand "baby water". I never noticed if they have fluoride, but if it's mean for mixing formula it must be fine, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-water#post-2445640 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:41:23 +0000 cascademom 2445640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use distilled water instead of nursery water for formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-water#post-2445635 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:39:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2445635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is nursery water? How much fluoride is in it?</p> <p>Most municipalities add fluoride to their tap water. So I'd assume unless nursery water has a crazy amount of fluoride it should be fine?</p> <p>Definitely call your ped in the morning if you're worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-water#post-2445632 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:36:34 +0000 LalaLove 2445632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was breastfeeding my DS the first week after he was born but then ended up in the ICU because of a severe post partum hemorrhage. My DH started feeding him powdered formula and because I'm so anemic right now we decided to continue with formula. I just realized my husband has been buying nursery water with added flouride. So DS has been drinking formula which already has flouride plus water with flouride. I'm freaking out a little! I breastfed my DD and we were on well water so I've never dealt with this before. Has anyone else used nursery water with flouride to mix formula?? Is it safe?! </p>
