Which type of formula should not be diluted before being administered to an infant?
a. Powdered
b. Concentrated
c. Ready-to-use
d. Modified cow's milk
C
Ready-to-use formula can be poured directly from the can into the baby's bottle and does not require dilution. Powered formula should be well mixed to dissolve the powder and make it uniform. 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.
