| What kind of WATER do you feed? I was curious as to what kind of water you feed your babies? I have been giving Zoe tap water but I just read something that said I shouldn't. I live in NY and we have the cleanest tap water in the states not to mention the water here contains flouride.

| In my area, the water is awful. I get them bottled water. Even the Brita filter doesn't remove stuff that should be removed from the water here. |

| same here.. either bottled or purified from the fridge. Before we had layla we lived in a subdivision in Sault Ste Marie where we had well water which was SO good... but since moving to london you can taste the chlorine in the water... we used to boil the water to see if it would help with her tearing.. but i didn't... so we are back to bottled |

| They get bottled water. Our water is so very hard that we have to have a water softner. My husband and I don't even drink the water. |

| I feed distilled water. It keeps their eyes from being so goopey, it really does Plus at 89 cents a gallon, it's a cheap way for me to keep their health the best it can be. Too much flouride for our little ones can cause problems. Check into that, cuz I'm not sure what problems, but I've read that somewhere. They are talking about putting flouride in our city water now, and I HATE the idea

| My two drink well water from our underground well. No fluoride, just natural water.

In my area of Western Canada, it must be pretty archaic. Our water looks and smells okay but i had some problems with my dogs getting diahrrea, giardia and other water borne stuff. It took a while for me to wonder about the water. I switched to buying water about 5 months ago and haven't looked back since. Dogs are all fine now. | |

| We have well-water, so we got a water softener, but we never drink from the tap. Me, my bf, and Rocky, and our guests always drink the filtered water from the fridge. If we're out and about I carry a bottle of water and give him that.
