Child Care Certification Policy Manual
Drinking water with nitrate levels over 10mg / liter is a health hazard to infants 0-6 months of age and may cause “blue baby syndrome”. If the water sample tests above the maximum allowable levels of nitrates, bottled water shall be used for children under 6 months of age.
Water should not be boiled as boiling will increase the nitrate level.
