  • yeah i heard about that! i can't believe that! it's crazy. it was probably the premade formula that's already done and ready. i don't think that should be diluted.

  • A typical Formula bottle is 2 oz of water to 2 oz of Formula for a 4 oz bottle. Directions on the can are clearly visible right? I can't remember the last time I read the can so I assume they would have to still be on there as well as any warning labels. Did she mix it differently to save money or something? Maybe she didn't know better. Although I can't imagine how she couldn't know better. I'd sure find a better way to save money.

  • Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by over-consumption of water.[1] Normal, healthy (both physically and nutritionally) individuals have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than 10 liters (10.5 quarts) of water over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.
