Apparently the water here is going to be turned off tonight because of flooding and no one knows for how long. I read before that you can't use bottled water for babies bottles but that there was one or two brands that you could use? Does anyone know which ones you can use because I'll have to try and get them tomorrow?

Hi M&M, sorry to hear you've been affected by the awful flooding.

I would get some Evian water ad that has a low salt content.

Evian has one of the lowest sodium content

I thats the level of safe sodium then the LIDL one in packs of 6 for 1.69 is fine too! Much cheaper and you can buy in big quantities if you have a Lidl near you that is!

Edited to add Lidl one is only 3.7mg/l .......

Not sure if you're near a SQ or what kind of formula you using but their ready mades are all reduced at the moment, under 50c for 200ml ready made bottle of Cow & Gate.

There was an article in the paper a good few months back, I'm not sure which ones but there might be something online.

Not the one Im talking about it seems, its the Romy Spring water one its French spring water....

Not quite the same label as you see in Lidl but produced at same location and same ingredients and levels etc...

Glad you mentioned this just so I could check as we buy and drink it by the bucket loads when out and about..

I think babies bottles with botted water can make them a bit queasy sometimes, I'd go with readymade stuff when you can. Otherwise I'd use Volvic.

I always boil the bottled water I use (not sure if everyone does but I just feel a little safer especially after the issues with e-coli levels (???) that some unnamed supermarkets had with bottled water a few months back) and I have found that Volvic is, along with low sodium, the only one (and i've tried pretty much every bottled water out there :huh: ) that doesn't create a residue on the water surface.

You can get a 6pack of Volvic in Tesco for around 3.40.

The ready-made cartons might be more convenient for you, and I would imagine there should be ample stick in the shops.

As far as I know Evian is the only one you can use.

Thanks everyone the water hasn't gone so not sure what the story is. I filled up two big saucepans of water so hopefully that'll do. Ds is on sma lactose free and I don't think you can get cartons of that unfortunately. The little guy has a very sensitive tummy so hopefully if we have to use evian it won't make him uncomfortable. There's always something :)

There is no water left in the shops here. I'd get a few more saucepans to be sure of supply.

Our water never went in the end thankfully. Loads of other areas seem to be affected and we have to go try and find water for DP's family in a minute but ours is still on.
