Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The problem i feel with preparation of formula.
Too much diluted feeds make the child hungry soon after feed and pass urine frequently.
one level measure (provided with the tin) in 30 ml of water will give one ounce of milk and 20 calories of energy.
Baby needs 150 ml/kg body weight in 24 hours
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
