To much formula to water

So... I increased my LO to 5oz and have little pots of 5oz formula made up! My partner last night only made 4oz of water but added the 5 scoops of formula twice so my LO has had 2 bottles with more formula in than water can this be really dangerous or is there anything I need to do??

She will be fine. Might cause a little constipation but it's not too big a deal if it's only been twice so don't worry

I second the other comment re constipation. A little tip I learnt from my midwife; if you do find she is a little uncomfortable you can try adding a tiny amount of fruit juice (avoid concentrate) to a small amount of water or her milk which will get things moving... It worked a dream for us a few times x x

One off wont harm, but as a regular practice not safe for baby.

She will be fine. Formulas are developed relative to such cases, i think.
