When did you stop boiling the water for your bub to drink?
I don't use boiled water when I'm making Ben's cereal so I wondered if it was stupid to keep boiling it for his cup? ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I think I stopped when Matt was about 6 or 7 months when he was putting everything in his mouth anyway! I figured that mud must have more bugs in it than water!!

I stopped boiling water for Ella once everything was going into her mouth - might have been around 4 months old? ------------- Andie |

I use to use breastmilk most of the time. But always use to boil the water. I cant actually think when I stopped. I think it was about a year or so. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol I'm the same!! But I boil the jug every day anyway and its not hard to fill bottles using the jug rather than the tap!! I have on the odd occasion given Ash water from the tap when she was thirsty but the jug water was hot. But I think I'll just keep doing it until she is one or so. ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
