Accidentally mixing extra formula in your baby's bottle may not necessarily cause serious problems if it happened only a few times. However, it's generally recommended to follow the instructions provided by the formula manufacturer.

Feeding your baby an incorrect concentration of formula could potentially lead to issues such as dehydration or overfeeding, as well as digestive discomfort. In some cases, it may also affect your baby's nutrient intake if the formula is significantly diluted or concentrated.

To ensure your baby receives the appropriate nutrition, it's best to follow the recommended measurements provided on the formula packaging.but single time mistake is unlikely to cause nay problem, I but may lead to loost stools only.
But please don't do mistake multiple times.

I Hope Your Query is clear now.
Thank You

Can anteriore fontanelle close at 4 months? Is it Norma??

Yes, it is considered normal for the anterior fontanelle (also known as the "soft spot") to close around 9 to 18 months of age. However, there can be some variation in the timing of fontanelle closure among individual infants. In some cases, the anterior fontanelle may close earlier than expected, such as around 4 months of age, and it is still within the range of normal development. It is important to remember that every child develops at their own pace, so there can be some individual variation.

I Hope Your Query is clear now.
