However, the typical ratio of water to formula for a 10-12 months old baby is 6 oz of water to 3 full scoops of formula powder, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
It is essential to follow the instructions carefully and use the measuring scoop provided with the formula to ensure that the correct amount of powder and water is added. Adding too much or too little water can affect the baby's nutritional intake and may cause digestive issues or dehydration.
When preparing formula, make sure to use water that has been boiled and allowed to cool to the appropriate temperature before mixing with the formula powder. Remember always to check the temperature of the formula before feeding it to your baby to avoid any burns or injury.
If you have any concerns or questions about the correct amount of water to add to formula, it is always best to consult with your baby's doctor, pediatrician, or a qualified healthcare professional.
