A. Great question! For a 12-month-old baby, when you start giving toned milk, it’s important to dilute it properly to match the fat content closer to what’s suitable for toddlers, especially if your baby was used to breast milk or formula before. Typical Dilution Ratio for Toned Milk: 1 part milk + 1 part water (1:1 ratio) This means equal quantities of milk and water. Example: If you give 100 ml of milk, mix it with 100 ml of boiled, cooled water → total 200 ml. Why Dilute Toned Milk? Toned milk has about 3% fat which is lower than full cream milk (about 6%). Diluting further reduces fat, making it easier for your baby’s digestion. At 12 months, your baby’s digestive system is still adjusting, so this helps avoid heaviness or stomach upset. How to Prepare: Boil fresh toned milk. Boil and cool drinking water separately. Mix equal amounts of boiled milk and boiled water. Warm to a comfortable temperature before feeding. When Can You Give Undiluted Milk? Usually after 12–18 months, depending on the baby’s digestion and pediatrician advice. If your baby tolerates milk well, you can slowly reduce water dilution.
