Bottled water has high sodium levels which is not recommended for babies. Apparently Buxton Water has lower levels, however as previously stated bottled water is not recommended.0

Tap water is much much safer than bottled water. The government regulations on mains water are actually far stricter and far more stringent than the regulation required for bottled water. Unless of course you're talking about outside the UK."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

My mum, who is having chemo at the moment, was advised by her nurse to drink lots of water but *not* bottled water. Apparently apart from the sodium levels, the water in the bottles can be months old by the time you drink it.
She recommended filtered tap water, chilled in the fridge. I got my mum a Brita filter for £14, I've seen them as cheap as £8 in catalogue discount stores. Much cheaper than bottled water and the whole family can use it too0 -
i have a filter but i read somewhere that filter water isn't good for babies - and when i want to find that information now i need it it is no where to be found.
i use boiled water now but i ran out at the weekend when i was out and had to use bottled water so was just wondering if it was safe??

As a one off "emergency" I think you have absolutely nothing to be worried about0

I believe it is not safe to use all of the time, but when we went to Spain and there was no choice we were told to check the sodium levels on different bottles, as they vary quite a lot between brands.0

This doesn't really help with your bottled water query but I found this (click on the first question it shows you) on the Brita website which is quite interesting. :-)Comping, freebieing and trying to pay the mortgage off early!0
