What. That can't be true. Maybe there's some advantage, like less fluoride etc. But it's not true they can't drink rap water...

Well, sure, not all tap water is potable for adults either. But giving special water to toddlers sounds like overzealous parenting. I rather give tap water, which is totally safe here, than water from a plastic bottle.

Not everything that is safe for adults is safe for little ones. Honey, for example, has to be boiled.

While boiling should work the medical recommendation is no honey at all until 1y.
