Mexico Vacation: Food and Water Safety for Toddlers
Speaking from our personal experiences, we know that neither you nor your toddlers will suffer any health risks from the food and water in Mexico. But for that, you must stick by some rules:
- Drink the purified water variety in Mexico. You will find it by the name of ‘Agua Pura.’
- If you’re staying at all-inclusive resorts, do verify if they serve purified. If not, you can buy your own for the stay.
- The only significant risk your toddlers face is the untreated Mexican water for the bath time. Since toddlers are too small to understand, they can accidentally or unknowingly take some untreated water while bathing.
Hence, try to limit their bath-time during your stay. If your accommodation offers a chlorinated pool, then try to make do with a daily dip. If not, then ensure you keep the water level extremely low while bathing your toddler in the tub.
