 For the first few months, we used bottled water. Then
 we filtered our own using Brita but I know that doesn't
 get rid of flouride. But we used that with the
 formula.If we knew then what we know now, we'd use the
 filter we NOW have! My husband just installed under
 our sink this filter system (from Costco $150) which is
 reverse osmosis. I think I remember hearing that this
 is one of the only ways to remove some flouride from
 water. Of course our kids are 5 now. So maybe they
 need the flouride now! !! Can't win, eh?!--- On Wed,

 anyone has updated advice.I cannot breastfeed
 (mastectomies) so will be using primarily formula for
 our twins, due in a few days (a gracious friend has
 donated some breast milk).I have read that SF water may
 have too much fluoride to be safely used for formula,
 but my pediatrician does not seem to have an
 opinion.Thoughts? Advice? What did you do?Add your

 The American Dental Association recommends avoiding
 fluoride when mixing formula.Here's a link to a PDF the
 Environmental Working Group created- EWG's Guide to
 Baby-Safe Bottles and
 Formulahttp://www.ewg.org/files/EWG_babyguide.pdfWe had
 these guys install our filtration system. They did a
 great job figuring out what we wanted and installing
 the right equipment. I highly recommend them.U.S. Pure

 I have a friend who used distilled water because she
 was concerned about chemicals in any water.. We used
 tap, but I mostly BF, so I didn't give it much thought
 since it wasn't their major drink.

 We used bottled water at the beginning, and then we
 switched to Brita-filtered.

 I think it's a program that they do in a room adjacent
 to Toddler Cove - we didn't do it, but looks like fun.
 It has some circle time , music and so on. We have a
 membership and it's our "go to" place when it rains.
 The roof is also a fun place to check out - you can get
 there by elevator.
