Could I possibly add more powder formula to my baby milk?

When I give him 2 oz milk it says to put one scoop of powder milk but it looks so runny unlike the ready made similac I was buying it looked alot thicker do you think its ok to put like an half a scoop extra powder to the water?Could I possibly add more powder formula to my baby milk?
That would be giving more calories to your baby so no it's best to just follow the directions on the formula box. Premade always is thicker but it contains the same amount of calories.Could I possibly add more powder formula to my baby milk?
Nope, powder formula is thinner then the canned formula. I would prepare it by the directions unless otherwise indicated by your doctor. Despite the texture and thickness, the nutrients ar the same.





Giving too much formula in his bottle can cause constipation and over time may even cause excess weight gain.
Follow the directions on the can precisely. If you concentrate the 2 oz of water too much, your baby could become constipated. Usually, it is 1 scoop per 2 oz of water. And that's NOT a heaping scoop, so be sure to ';shave off'; the scoop with a knife or something. It should be an even scoop.





HTH!
No, it's not okay. The directions on the can are there for a reason: that is EXACTLY how you are to make it. Adding more formula(or water) can cause problems with your baby.
u have to go by what the directions say. if u give him too much, it might make him sick. it should be the same consistency as regular milk or breast milk.


if u think he needs more, just make him a bigger bottle
Adding more formula than the directions say could also cause kidney problems for your baby,never do this!
NO


NO


NO


NO


only use as directed by manufacturer
NOOOOOO, don't do this. It can create a whole world of problems. Like spitting up, tummy aches, gassy problems. Not recommended at all.
Follow the instructions. Making it thicker can cause digestive problems.
NO! don't do that. You can upset his stomach. Just do like the container says and if he does fine w/it (which he probably will) then he's fine!
No, you should follow the instructions on the can. You could hurt your baby by concentrating it too much.
Absolutely not. It can cause many problems, especially constipation.
No, don't, you need to follow the instructions on the tin. Adding too much powder can leave them dehydrated.
I wouldnt do it, the instructions are there for a reason.
Just keep to the directions. No need to add more or less.
what brand milk are you using? i use sma and it is one scoop of powder for every once of water
i used to put one more scoop then it says. so i dont see why not.
