The only valid grounds for concern about fluoride intake in early infancy is the low fluoride content of human milk, which is cited in my letter and presented as clearly as possible.

Obviously, a number of infants have been fed water with fluoride and no discernible harm has resulted. The evidence favoring the fluoride intake after six months is compelling and a reference has been cited.

I hope this information is helpful.
