I’ve never really thought about the importance of drinking water until I’ve become a mother. At home, we use that carbon filter that is attached to the faucet. That’s where we used to get our drinking water and the water we used for cooking.
When I became pregnant with my daughter, Purple, I started to get worried. I guess that’s your first concern when you become a mother — how to keep your your family safe and healthy. My first concern was our drinking water. I had to make sure that our family gets safe and pure distilled drinking water. So I chose Wilkins Distilled Drinking Water.
The only available size in our area is the 4000ml one, so what my husband and I did was we stocked up on those. The nearest drugstore where we bought our Wilkins almost ran out of stock because of the numerous containers we bought.
I didn’t even care that this size costs more compared to the bigger sizes that the water station in our area offers. All I know is that this is guaranteed safe drinking water that is why this is the water I choose for my baby. Infants are susceptible to illness, disease and bacteria so I couldn’t risk giving her just any other water. Besides being costly, I know how heart-breaking it would be to see her get sick.
Do I sound a little over protective?
I know that all of us moms can be over protective and we can never EVER compromise our family when it comes to safety. It is a non-negotiable. That’s also how over-protective Wilkins can be. Wilkins make sure that we get water that is free from impurities and bacteria and is guaranteed SAFE.

I also entrusted my family’s health and wellness to Wilkins as the safest drinking water for us.
I have to warn you that plastic containers of those gallons may contain toxic materials. You may google the Tapped the movie, a documentary about the bottled water industry.
I used to buy Wilkins water when I was still there, definitely a good brand.
Wilkins is the best. That was my brand when I had my 1st son, now 13 years old and even my niece and nephews back in the Philippines, they are Wilkins babies.
When I gave birth, this is what our pedia recommended for my baby
my younger sister is using this for her son’s formula milk
Wilkins are indeed a good drinking water. That’s what I used when I went to the Philippines and stayed there for 2 months. Since I have an infant with me, giving her the best clean water is a must. And i found it on Wilkins.
I am using the Wilkins distilled water for my daughter instead of boiling a water for her formula milk.
I clearly remember that water from our faucet used to be safe for drinking but not anymore. Now, we all spend a lot to buy distilled water for our family because we don’t want to put everyone’s health on the line. I buy Wilkins, too.
To me, nothing is safer than boiled water. It is still best for mixing formula.
Safe drinking water from the tap is very important. I couldn’t imagine buying distilled water all the time.
On the other hand, if in doubt with tap water, distilled water is advisable.
When my daughter and I visited the Philippines last year, have to make sure that we will only drink distilled water to keep us safe 🙂 I am not sure if it is the same brand as well 🙂 We were thankful that both of us were safe during our vacation and drinking water is a must especially it is very warm in the Philippines. You have to make yourself hydrated especially if you have a kid with you 🙂

drinking a clean water is very important especially for our kids since their stomach and their health is not as stable as ours. When i become a mother, i have a lot of new things and this is one of them.
This is also the same brand of distilled water that I trust for my daughter.
water is important to our health and choosing clean and safe one like wilkins is on top priority
Been using Wilkins Distilled Drinking Water for our household ever since my boy was born. Hirap lang bumili sa convenience store because there’s no delivery service in our place. Medyo mahal din compared to other brands and types of drinking water but our health is our priority so ok lang kahit mahal.
When you are suffering from stomach problems, this is the brand of water that doctors prescribe.
