Also, are there potentially bad consequences for a five-month old to drink bottled but not unboiled water?

there's no harm in giving your baby bottled water. it's just like nursery water.

I'm not sure. I boiled water up to about 8/9 months with my daughter only because even after boiling it, i still didn't trust the water to be "clean" as i could still see some clear stuff floating on top. (this is after i moved into our house that has the old piping in it) So i started using bottled water for my daughters bottles.

I have 6 daughters and have never boiled my water when I gave them any water at all, be it in juice or maybe a back up bottle(nursed, so I rarely gave formula). I have well water and was never even told to boil the water.
I personally think bottled water is fine. I gave my children tap water and they turned out just fine.

I have four children and I never boiled the water.. I didn't even use bottled water. I nursed all of them, but the older three did get bottles of formula as they got older. They are all just fine and hardly ever get sick.

I never boiled my son's water. I have always used bottled water. It is so much easier

They sell nursey bottled water too. Six months old is ok.

OH my gosh, I have had 7 babies and I have NEVER boiled their water, not from the first day home from the hospital. In our country in this day and age it is totally unnecessary.

I have two children and NEVER boiled their water. My pediatrician didn't recommend it. She said they would more easily build up immunities if I did not. Neither child has had any problems and are very healthy kids.
