First, babies don’t need to drink water during the first 6 months. Feed only breast milk or formula milk. It will be best if you can breastfeed/latch your baby directly. But if you are making formula milk, boiled water is ok. But always cool the water to room temperature before making formula milk. You shouldn’t add hot water to formula milk because it could cause clumping and decrease nutrients in the milk.
I actually got a water filter from PH watersg. 4 filteration system with hot & cold water function. Whole thing with installation is like $4xx only. I found them on carousell. Save alot of hassle when comes to making milk in the middle of the night.
First, remember your baby cannot drink water until he or she is at least six months old. In Singapore, boiled tap water or filtered water is fine.
Just boil from from tap water. I think most of the mom does that. My NB drank boiled water from tap for FM. No issue and growing well.
Boiled tap water - from 6 months of age onwards Distilled water - from 1 year old onwards Mineral water - from 2 years old onwards
You can just boil the water from the tap. The water in Singapore is safe. But do take note that baby should not be drinking plain water.
Thank you 😄
if you are making formula milk with boiled water please make sure that is at 70deg c
Just boil tap water when baby is ready to drink. Boiled water should be very safe!
Tap water in Singapore is safe. Just boil it will do 😊 fast and save money too
Thank you 😊
I remember that babies do not need to drink water till they are 6 months old.
But if for making milk maybe you can consider boiling the water first.
