Formula Question

My dd is almost 11 months old. She has been on formula for the last couple months. It says to boil the water to sterilize it before using. When can I stop doing this? Can I just water out of the tap, or do I have to continue boiling it, or go out and buy bottled water?

Thanks in advance!

If your baby is almost 11 months old its almost time for he/she to start drinking whole milk. My kids doctor said to boil water for atleast the first 3 months or buy distilled or nursery water. I bought my 3 year olds until she started cows milk and I will still buy my 3 month olds. But you dont have too. Its what ever you feel comfortable with.I think if they cant have it at all the first 3 months it probley not good for them period, but you could stop any time you choose to or not to!
