I'm glad to hear that you use the bottled infant water :o) Some people just don't think about well water getting contaminated - and never have them tested either - scary!!
I have to admit, we didn't have "infant" water where we were - just bottled for everyone's use (ease of locating on the road, etc.). I didn't boil it in addition either. Didn't know you were supposed to - I guess there's room for changes in my house too *grin* I think that a full term baby could handle good old bottled water from a reliable source - but Preemies I think need that extra care until they are closer to catching up. I know I even cooked her veggies in bottled water for a long time - until 1yr.
Even when they get to be 4 you still don't have that "let them go at it attitude" - just a warning! I still read every label and watch what goes in and make sure that dirty hands are washed more frequent than most moms, things like that... I still keep wipes in my car and when we're at the park, we wipe down before we even go home - wow, that sounds bad, doesn't it? LOL
Oh, well, she's a very healthy girl because of it!
Good luck on your decisions! There will be lots more where that one came from!
