Is It Advisable To Give A Dilute Mix Of Formula To An Infant?

Hi, so my 4 month old daughter is being switched from breast milk to formula. My husband mixed half a scoop less formula and she ate it. But when we mixed it the right ratio of water and formula she wouldn t eat it and would gag and vomit. Is it safe for her to eat diluted formula?

Hello,

Yes, you can dilute in staring once tummy gets addicted. Then start in proper proportion otherwise it's waste to give her formula milk without proper dilution.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
