The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies consume a diet exclusively of breast milk or formula for the first four to six months of life. A baby gets all the water he needs from formula or breast milk. It is not necessary, nor is it recommended, to give your baby plain water before he is six months old. When bottle-fed babies start eating solid food, they may be offered a few sips of water between feedings. Breast-fed babies usually do not need extra water if they are nursing on demand. Please confer with your physician.

Calcium, magnesium and potassium are added for taste. At the levels used, they do not provide any nutritional benefits.

In most cases, discoloration is caused when particles of formula inadvertently enter the bottle of Nursery® water when preparing your child’s bottle.

Recent studies on the presence of nano and micro plastic particles in food and bottled water have stirred public concern, despite reassurances from reputable organizations. The World Health Organization has determined that dietary exposure to these particles poses no adverse health effects, a stance echoed by the FDA, which lacks evidence supporting consumer apprehension. However, certain studies exhibit significant data discrepancies, complicating definitive conclusions. For instance, one study revealed glass bottles with higher plastic particle counts than 63% of water sampled from plastic containers. Another study introduced a novel detection method for smaller particles but lacks broader application across various food categories. Notably, these studies overlooked tap water and other plastic-packaged foods, suggesting a broader issue with plastic contamination. Water Source One facilities uphold stringent standards to eliminate contaminants and ensure safety. Despite media attention, organizations experiencing declining viewership and revenue may sensationalize findings to maintain relevance, potentially skewing scientific discourse. Such fear-based tactics overlook pertinent data, exemplified by the oversight of plastic-contaminated glass bottles in news coverage. Nonetheless, bottled water remains a viable, healthy option, especially during emergencies when municipal water systems falter.
