Nursery Water

[justhat]

Does anyone know if the grocery stores that the towncars stop at sell Nursery Water (the bottled water for babies that contains fluoride)? At home my daughter drinks filtered tap water to get the fluoride, but when we're in Disney in 3 weeks we'll be buying ourselves bottled water at a grocery store to take to the parks everyday. Obviously I can give her regular bottled water (whatever we get for ourselves) cause the lack of fluoride won't kill her for a week, but if they have Nursery Water I'd rather get that. Anyone familiar with the stores down there and know if they sell this?

I know my Publix on Central Florida Parkway right down the road from Sea World sells it! It is right next to the "regular" water on the top shelf!

I'm sure if one Publix Supermarket sells it, they all do!

Have a great trip!

Yep, my Publix here in TN sells it too, so it must be at all of them.

At home my daughter drinks filtered tap water to get the fluoride,

filtering removes fluoride

according to our ped regular charcoal filters do not remove floride. The reverse osmosis ones do. We were considering getting a culligan reverse osmosis system until the dr told us this. Now we are likely going to get a charcoal filter (ie: brita, pur).

Both my boys drink the nursery water right now. Figure a week at DIsney without it won't be bad if I can't find it.

from the pur website:
Q. How do the units affect fluoride?
A. The PUR Self-Monitoring Water Filters do not signifigantly reduce the level of fluoride in the water source.

Just FWI in case you can't find your brand, Dannon makes a bottled water with floride as well. It is found with the regular bottled water not in the baby aisle. I find it cheaper than the baby brands and it comes in gallon, quart and 8 oz sports type bottles, great for mixing with powder!!

My kids are older but since our water is not florinated we buy the dannon.

Our pediatrician told us regular filters won't remove fluoride. We live in DC, so it's not the best idea to drink the tap water unfiltered cause over the past year there have been huge problems with high lead levels in the water. In fact, right before my daughter was born last February, it was released that DC was covering up the lead levels in the water, blaming individual homes, buildings, etc. They found out that it's the water lines in the city that are made of lead, so they were giving out free Brita filters to all pregnant women and families with young kids, as well as doing free blood tests for lead levels, for all district residents. When I was in the hospital giving birth, they had signs up in the postpartum kitchen that said "Do NOT drink the tap water. Ask for bottled." Shortly after she was born (like within 2-3 weeks) they started adding tons of chlorine to the water cause I guess that would reduce the lead levels. It was so bad that everytime I showered or bathed the baby it literally smelled like I was at the YMCA. Since then they've cut back on the chlorine. It's also DC policy that all kids get their blood tested for lead levels at 12 and 24 months. Madison loved that one, they had to do it with a needle in her arm and fill 2 vials! But anyway, that Brita filter better not be removing the fluoride cause it claims that it only removes a trace amount over the life of each filter.

Thanks TJ! We'll look for either Dannon or Nursery then. I did see Dannon once, but our local stores don't have it so I completely forgot about it.
