In the first 4 to 6 months of their lives, babies don’t need any extra water. Breast milk is all they need to stay hydrated. However, in some cases mothers may not be able to produce enough milk for their babies, and have to rely on infant formula and bottle-feeding. In order to prepare formula, water must be added to it, which has to be of the best possible quality and free from any harmful ingredients. Healthy water is an absolute must for babies as their immune system is still not strong enough to effectively fight off diseases. Filtered water is one of the safest options, and if you have a good water filter, you can use filtered water to prepare your baby’s formula.
While still very little, your baby is vulnerable to viruses, parasites or bacterial infections so it is important to choose a filter system that addresses these issues in a dependable and efficient way. Water filters available today can remove a wide spectrum of contaminants from your tap water and produce filtered water that may be even cleaner and healthier than the bottled variety.
