for baby 9 month old. i will suggest dun dilute with water or decrease the scoop of milk powder. cos this will decrease the nutrients too. jusy give more water in between. if not can consider change brand of the milk powder

Please do NOT prepare formula in any other way, other than what is mentioned on the tin! There are many reasons that LO may be heaty, and formula could be a reason - but you should not try to dilute/thicken formula.

No diluting, no lessen of scoops. Just give more water in between. They r still growing. Dilute it or lessen scoops might affect the sufficient nutrients they need to get

if one FM doesn't work, change. the water powder ratio is calculated perfectly to suit a baby, don't change it.

9months old maybe i won't decrease the scoop yet. Just offer her water in between her milk feeds.

Give more water in between the feeds if your baby is more than 6 months old!
