Can I use softened water for mixing baby feeds if the sodium complies with the Water Regulations?

Yes you can, provided the softened water has a sodium concentration below the maximum of 200 mg/l for sodium, specified in the Drinking Water Regulations. This level was adopted to ensure that the total sodium of the baby feed plus the water does not exceed 350 mg/l which is considered a safe level for infants.
