When can our lo's start having tap water to drink in a sippy cup instead of cooled boiled water?

I thought it was 6 months? I gave my LO tap water from 6 months anyway lol.

Just had a google and everything I saw was 6 months. It only needs to be boiled water after 6 months if you're mixing it with formula, as that always needs to be with boiled water.

Yeh, we were told 6 months at blw talk x

Thanks ladies.

We are going away to France on Saturday for two weeks, can he have bottled water to drink too?

I will still make his formula with boiled tap water.

Good question! Am not sure but have a feeling they're meant to avoid it coz of high mineral content??? But better than unsafe water so if in doubt use bottled? Cant think where I'm remembering this from! Sorry x
