Do I need to use sterilized water to make my baby’s bottles?
You should have seen the look on my babysitter’s face when she asked where the water for the formula was and I pointed to the tap. The short answer is: if you live on a farm and use well water or you carry your water to your house from the nearest stream, then yes, you need to use either boiled or bottled water to feed your baby. But if your town provides clean water directly to your home, then there isn’t any need to “be a Gum Wiper” and use special water. In fact, if your water supply is fluoridated, it is better to use that water than bottled which lacks fluoride. So that someday he’ll have pretty teeth for you to brush.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
