A member asked:
My city's tap water contains 0.80 mg/l of fluoride while the nursery water contains 0.70 mg/l. which one should i use to prep formula for my 5w bab?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluorine in water: It is better to avoid both waters. Consider bottled water/distilled water, or filter with filter using reverse osmosis or distill the water. Most efficient way to avoid fluoride is BREAST FEED
