Comment sections filled with mixed reactions

Some netizens applaud the couple for their thoughtful gesture.

A netizen remarked that the father’s action wasn’t excessive and proposed that he might be trying to protect their son from potential skin infections caused by unclean water.

Madammu replied that the water supply at their place was yellowish when they arrived.

Another netizen suggested they should get a water filter.

Concurrently, certain netizens responded with sarcastic and humorous remarks, mostly due to the reputation of the relatively expensive mineral water brand.

“I bathe my baby with syrup water every day.”

“My late father provided me with Starbucks water for my bath.”

Nevertheless, some netizens are coming to the couple’s defense, asserting that their intention was solely to provide the best for their son and highlighting their reluctance to use unclean water for bathing.

A netizen mentioned that they used water filter to get clean water for their baby’s bath.

In a playful comment, another netizen quipped, “My mom would advise me not to bathe at all to save water.”
