In a pinch yes, but on a regular basis, no! It hasn't been sterilized, and that's really the point of boiling your tap water for formula. Plus, if the bottle's been sitting around for a while, harmful chemicals from the plastic can leech into the water. Check the expiration date on the bottle if you do plan to use it - the date is for the actual bottle not the water inside!

Yes, you can. I did for about the first 6 months that I used formula. Just so the baby didn't have to take in the impurities of tap water. Then I started using a little at a time, and eventually just went to tap altogether. Good luck!

Sure. That is what I used. I used the distilled water though. Some bottled water is actually tap water. They just had a deal about Aquafina being regular tap water. Distilled ensures that your baby is getting pure water with nothing added.

I'm sure you can for convenience (like needing to fix a bottle in the car or something like that.) However, as far as at home.. the Dr. said regular tap water is the best.

yes you can.. They have filtered water that you can buy for specifically for babies.. It is in the baby section with everything else.. It comes in gallon jugs..
We keep bottle water instock at home simply for times that we are going to be going places.. like the park, zoo, or sporting events... We pack a couple bottles and put a couple in the car..

Yes u can use them for babies formula but dont use distilled water as it is lacking in vitamins and stuff like that. use spring or nursery water if u want...

I was told no by my Dr. I have always boiled water and put it in a jug then let it get room temperature and made my bottles with room temp. pre-boiled water. I was even told that nursery water that is for babies wasn't even good.

Why not, most bottled water is basically just tap water anyway.
I wouldn't use flavored water though, or something like vitamin water.

Yes, I use it when we go out for the day. I never boil the water I use for my sons formula. I just used filtered water from my refrig.

Yes you can but it might be cheaper to either boil tap water and let it cool or simply invest in a filter for your sink.
