Whats Better Distilled Water Or Ionized Water To Prepare Infant Formula? Which Bottle Company Uses Bpa Free?
Im wondering whats best to use. They say to use water with low flouride content. I live in windsor, ontario and the water here is polluted. I dont trust the tap water. I buy distilled bottle water from Culligans. But they also sell ionized water. Which one is best for baby? Also, these bottled waters come in plastic which contain that BPA so now im worried about that. I know the water is at room temperature but how do i know that when these bottles are shipped they are sitting in the hot sun or previous people who recycle these jugs leave them sitting out side in the sun? Man talk about being worried. Any suggestions? thanks

If you’re worried about plastic bottled water (which might be reasonable, from what I’ve heard), have you considered using a water filter (PUR, Britta) on tap water? Or going all out, and getting a reverse osmosis filtration system?
If you filter your water at home, you can be fairly certain of the purity of the water, so long as you replace the filters when needed.
I used to live in Toronto, so I know what you mean about the water! I would get a filter that goes on your tap, (invest in a good quality one) and then (you should boil the water, but I’m sure you are already doing that) you should be fine! As an added bonus, the whole family will have better water with the tap filter!
I don’t know about the water because I don’t formula feed, but I had problems trying to find BPA free bottles for my baby.
The only one I know for sure is Medela, I am in australia, I don’t know where you are so maybe you cannot access this brand. Otherwise glass bottles are a certainty, but are expensive and sometimes difficult to find.
Good luck

THey list all the BPA free bottles- you can order most of them online and have them shipped to you if you can not find them in stores.
In terms of Distilled vs ionized. … if your concenr is BPA i would boil and then filter instead. I use a Brita filter at home, i fill up a tea kettle, boil the water, let it cool and put it in the fitler. You can go an even extra step and use a filter that attaches to the faucet, then boil, then put it in a Brita type filter system.
Thats why I stopped buying water from them and bought my own cooler, and buy my own water…you can never trust those companies in my opinion…you dont know when they are comming, who used the bottles last, or even if the company cleaned them properly
