Ive been using ready to feed formula for my 4 month old son, switching to concentrated liquid. should i use distilled or tap water & should i boil it?

Source of water ?: If you are on a safe community water system and you consume it directly without concern, it should be fine for formula. Questionable well systems, or old pipes might require a better source, like store bought drinking water. I don't recommend distilled. Boiling would only be required if you do so for your own consumption.
