Why is Nursery® a purified water processed by steam distillation?

Nursery® is made with distilled water that is processed by steam distillation and purified, with added fluoride. Drinking our purified and steam distilled water has many benefits for your toddler. The added fluoride will help strengthen your child’s teeth while our process of steam distillation assures you that it is safe, pure, clean, and healthy. Our product is conveniently available in economical one gallon bottles or Nursery® Sesame Street® easy-to-hold bottles. You can use Nursery® for many purposes: from mixing with formula and cereals to diluting juices or simply using Nursery® as your child’s drinking water.

The purity of drinking our distilled water.

Because we understand that drinking water is extremely important to ensure your child stays healthy and safe, our product goes through a stringent purification process. The process starts with filtration where impurities are removed. Followed by steam distillation, resulting in a drinking water in its purest form. Next, minerals like fluoride, magnesium, calcium, and potassium are added back to Nursery®, giving the water a pure fresh taste. Finally, micron filtration ensures clarity and product quality. The last step is ozonation which disinfects the water.

In addition to unannounced inspections by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and independent third-party organizations such as the National Sanitation Foundation, International (NSF); Nursery® Water conducts internal quality audits to ensure compliance with applicable state and federal bottled water regulations.

Consult your physician or dental professional if using another fluoridated product.

Helpful Tips
for Parents

Keep an Eye on Eyes

Your toddler's ability to see is essential to learning and development, but because he doesn't yet know what good vision is, he may not complain if his is less than ideal.

Juice Use

It seems like fruit juice and juice drinks would be healthy for your growing toddler, but did you know you can give him too much of a good thing? Fruit juice tastes good and is often packaged so it's easy to carry around, but the American Academy of Pediatrics says excess juice can contribute to dental caries and diarrhea. Toddlers one to six years old should be limited to four to six ounces per day as part of a meal or snack rather than sipping throughout the day.

Vitamin Efficiency

Multivitamins seem like a good way to ensure your toddler gets the nutrients he needs. But before you add the fun shapes and sweet flavors to his routine, talk to your pediatrician. Many think multivitamins are unnecessary for children unless they lack certain vitamins and minerals because of a food sensitivity or poor diet. If you decide multivitamins are right for your toddler, give him a children’s formula to prevent toxic doses, keep them out of his reach and teach him vitamins are medicine and not candy.
