Accidentally put too much water in formula! Worried

Hi all.

DD is 10 days old and formula fed. Today DH accidentally put 3 scoops of powder in a 4oz bottle when he should've put four. Thankfully we realised his error before she finished the bottle and she only drank about an ounce maximum. We then remade her bottle with the correct amount.

I'm a first time mum and terrified this may harm her/make her ill! Sad

It’s important to make formula up correctly but it’s a one off and it sounds as though she hardly had much of it anyway. I’m sure she’ll be fine! I think it’s more of an issue when people water it down way too much on a regular basis.

Hi I’m a ftm. And I’ve been using the mam bottles. I measure the correct water to formula ratio however I cool it in cold water before I give it to my baby. I have been doing this since birth Upto 10 weeks and only realised when cooling the mam anti colic bottle sucked in between 0.25-0.5oz of water. Should I be worried for 1) slightly diluted formula and 2) tap water getting in bottle.
