You do not need to boil Nursery(R) Water before use. Nursery(R) is a steam distilled water with added fluoride that has gone through a stringent purification process. This process starts with filtration where impurities are removed, followed by steam distillation, resulting in a drinking water in its purest form. Next, minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium are added back to Nursery(R) giving the water a pure, fresh taste. Finally, micron filtration ensures clarity and product quality. The last step is ozonation which disinfects the water.

It depends on whether your baby is breastfed or formula fed. Breastfed babies usually get enough fluid from their mother's milk and do not need additional water at 3 months. Generally, pediatricians tell parents that a healthy, formula fed baby can begin to take a few sips of water at 6 months. Offer water only when your baby is thirsty adn limit it to 3-4 ounces per day. You don't want water to fill your baby's belly and displace her desire to feed.

I am sorry to hear about your son's breathing. Because I am not a doctor and do not know your son's medical history, I am not qualified to diagnose what may have caused the problem. What I would encourage you to do is talk again to the pediatrician who sent you to the ER and ask your questions. If you are not satisfied with the pediatrician's responses, take your son to another pediatrician and see what he or she says. You are rightly concerned about your son's health, and a doctor who is treating your son should be able to fully explain the fast breathing.

You need to call your primary care doctor or healthcare provider as soon as possible and be seen. He or she can answer your questions and help you arrange prenatal care as well as manage your blood sugar which is critical for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
