Top and Tailing - should the water be cooled boiled?

[sunnyday]

Hi ladies,

read last night in a preggy mag that top and tailing water should be cooled boiled water. Is this right? So how come we don't use cool boiled water in the bath then???!!!

I used cooled boiled water for Austin but only because he had really bad sticky eyes until he was 8 months old so I had to clean them with boiled water.

I don't use it. I think we can go a bit OTT with all of this TBH. Babies need to get some germs otherwise how are they expected to build an immune system

Don't bother. As has been said, you'd end up boiling and sterilising 24-7 and go stir crazy!

The things that Ash shoves into his mouth! Honestly, I sterilise my breast pump and bottles when he has expressed milk, but not much else.

I never done that either for his bath. I did use cooled boiled water when he had sticky eyes but that was only for cleaning his eyes

CBW for his eyes when they were sticky, but other than that... just normal water
