Brief Answer:
You can give RO water
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking.
The purpose of any form of purification of water is to make it devoid of germs. In earlier days when technology was not available, it was done by boiling. Simply RO is enough (in fact more than enough) and boiling it again was pointless anyway. So, yes, you can give her RO water directly without any further processing.
Feel free to write back.
