Charlotte is 8 months and up till now she always has water with her meals and throughout the day. Anyway I always give her cooled boiled water, but this morning I forgot to make her water so just used tap water.

So how long do I have to do the cooled boiled water thing as its a bit of a pain really when it comes to refreshing her water in the day as she always seems to want it when its still cooling !!!

It is fine to give babies tap water to drink in a cup after 6 months (that is the advice). We have been doing it since 6 months, my lo is now 10 months x

Yep, Bellah is right, it's 6 months (although I still boiled it til about 11 months, not sure why!)

ooh didn't know that, i was beginning to wonder this as ds is 8 months and like lambchop was finding it not so easy to have to keep boiling the kettle and waiting ti cool.x

thanks girls, my lo is coming up for 9 months and I'm still messing about with the kettle, not any more!!!

Great post! I never realised that it was 6 months and never thought to ask lol Will make life SO much easier!
