Bottled water

[DW1978]

We are going to France on Saturday, can Jax have bottled water as a drink if he needs it? I'm not sure if the minerals in the water will be ok? Or should I still give him cooled boiled water on holiday?

I read in a baby book somewhere it's not a good idea to give them bottled water because of the mineral content? Apparently after 6 months they're allowed just tap water? xx.

When lo was younger we bought a special water for babies (we lived in italy) i dont know what the name will be in french but it was acqua ambrosia (i think) and we got it from the pharmacy, it was aimed at drinking and preparing feeds, now at 20months old when we go he just drinks regular tap or bottled water!

I can't just give Jax French tap water though can I? Isn't there a chance it will give him an upset tummy? We never drink the tap water unless its boiled in a cup of tea or passed through a Brita filter first (my MIL lives there).

I don't know where I got this from sarah- it may b fine? And if u don't have access to safe drinking water from a tap then surely its the only alternative?!
