    todlers can only have distilled water

    I’m pretty sure that’s unhealthy (lack of minerals)

      If you only have them distilled water and not the formula you mix into it, then it’s dangerous, but the minerals aren’t the problem there.

      That is a myth. Food is the major source for nutritional mineral intake, and purified water does not have any weird “mineral stripping” effect on the body

      you don’t get your minerals from water, you get them from what you eat.

      You can drink distilled water if you compensate for the possible demineralization.
      If you think that by drinking distilled water, you’re missing out on all the forever chemicals and pesticides; you can still go lick a car tire and be done with it.
