How Much Formula Food Can Be Given To An Infant?
Question: Instead of giving only 3 scoops of cerelac per feeding as mentioned on the box; can it be increased to 4 scoops? My baby easily finishes 3 scoops and I feel he needs more. He is 7.5 months old now.
Brief Answer:
you can give
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes you can give . No problem.
But increase the water you mix accordingly.
Usually 25ml of XXXXXXX warm water per extra scoop is required.
Don't worry. Some babies need more, and you can give it to your baby.
Continue your other feeds as you had listed.
Wishing your baby good health.
