Putting less formula in a bottle than the instructions recommend can lead to a diluted formula, meaning it has less of the nutrients your baby needs.
Here's what can happen:
- Inadequate Nutrition: Your baby may not get enough calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals for proper growth and development.
- Dehydration: A diluted formula can make your baby more prone to dehydration, especially if they are not taking in enough fluids.
- Gastrointestinal Issues: A diluted formula can cause digestive problems like diarrhea or constipation.
Important: Always follow the formula manufacturer's instructions on the packaging for the correct amount of formula and water to use. This ensures your baby receives the proper nutrition they need.
