how to fortify formula to 24 calories

Sure, I'd be happy to help. A standard formula typically has 20 calories per ounce, so you are looking to increase it by a bit. Following your specific formula's fortification guide is best, but generally, you can add more powder to achieve this. Just remember to use sterile techniques to prevent any contamination.

Of course. Let's assume you're preparing 2 ounces of standard formula. Normally, you would use one scoop of powder for every ounce. But since you want to increase the calories, you may need to use one and a half scoops per ounce. So, you'd mix three scoops of formula powder with two ounces of water. Just remember to consult a healthcare provider before making any changes to ensure it's suitable for your baby.

There can be potential risks. Over-concentration can lead to dehydration and other health concerns. It's important to remember that a higher-calorie formula does not necessarily mean it's better for the baby. Individual nutritional needs vary, and this should be discussed with a pediatrician or dietitian.

You're welcome! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions. Always remember, your baby's health should be a priority. Good luck!
