Too much water in the formula

[abby1134]

I accidentally added too much water to my daughters formula. I was reading about water intoxication and I'm terrified of that happening. Has anyone experienced this? I'm sure she'll be okay but my anxiety won't let it be. I'm a first time mom so everything is super scary.

Do you mean every bottle you’ve ever made up, or just one?

Just one.

It will be fine, just don’t do it again. Remember that you can offer water in hot weather, so a bit extra won’t harm baby.

How much extra? We used to be encouraged to add an extra oz of water if they were constipated

Yeah I added like maybe an extra oz. The only thing that's scaring me is that she's barely two weeks old.

Maybe an extra oz.

She'll be fine, might have upset stomach and be hungry but that's all.
