Those are supposed to have lower fluorine than tap water. According to the CDC, babies who only drink formula with tap water can develop dental fluorosis, faint white lines on the teeth.[1].
It’s not always possible to breastfeed.

- thebigspacefuck 4y agoFrom your link it mentions to use water “without any fluoride added after purification treatment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires the label to indicate when fluoride is added.” The water I’m referring to is exactly the kind of water the CDC recommends against using, yet that is not at all obvious from the label. IIRC it is sold right next to the infant formula implying it should be used. Again, what purpose does it serve? Babies and toddlers don’t have their adult teeth so it is irrelevant for dental health at that age.
