Going to Egypt......need some advice

kalou1972 · Feb 8th, 2011, 12:55 PM

So its our own apartment.....its just the first time we've taken LO.

So my question is.....I am mainly BFing but will give him the odd bottle if i decide to have more than a couple of vino's.

Do i boil tap water to make his formula ( we drink coffee with this )....or do i boil bottled water ???

What do you reckon ???

anyone ??

I would probably just take cartons of ready made formula. This is what I have done when I have taken LO's abroad.

In Egypt, I would boil the bottled water bought from a grocery store.

I'd boil bottled water hun, just to be on the safe side

Boiled bottle water especially in Cairo

Although if you have an apartment I suspect you are probably going to the Sinai?

The only bottled water that is safe for babies is Evian, even when boiled, because of the stuff that's added to it.
