Which type of formula is not diluted before being administered to an infant?
a. Powdered c. Ready-to-use
b. Concentrated d. Modified cow's milk
ANS: C
Ready-to-use formula can be poured directly from the can into baby's bottle and is good (but expensive) when a proper water supply is not available. Formula should be well mixed to dissolve the powder and make it uniform in consistency. Improper dilution of concentrated formula may cause malnutrition or sodium imbalances. Cow's milk is more difficult for the infant to digest and is not recommended, even if it is diluted.
