It won't hurt anything. It may be less filling for your baby, so if you notice he/she drinks more or wants more, it's probably why. But it won't in any way hurt your baby.

It wont hurt at all. I started off diluting my daughter's formula when she was about 2 mos because she was throwing it up alot. It's kind of like mixing chocolate milk for yourself. It's mixed to your own personal taste. Just don't make it super thick by adding too much formula.

It won't hurt, but if you know how much more water you added you can just add more formula to the bottle and mix it, and then if you don't think she will drink it all place it in another bottle and store in the fridge for her next feeding.

It won't hurt her. If she's over 4 months of age you can throw in a bit of pablum to make it more filling (1/2 tsp per 8oz bottle)

if you dilute it she will not get enough nutrients, she'll fill up on more water than usual. Read the can, it says you have to mix it exactly as described. It also may make her have looser stools.

it won't hurt if it wasn't a whole lot. and even if it was- all it will do is water it down. the baby is likey to be hungry after a feeding.
