Question : My baby is 13 months old. I'm giving her XXXXXXX blue packet milk and breastfeeding at night time. Giving her solids too. Can I mix water in milk and give it to baby?

Brief Answer:
Better not to mix water

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us. It is better not to mix water in milk. The milk packet itself can be given without diluting , this will avoid dilution of nutrients . It is easily digestible and can be given safely at this age.
You can continue breastfeed at night .
Wishing your baby good health
