Thanks for your question. Yes formula milk should be properly dissolved. Generally the preparations are such that they dissolve quickly. Kindly check for dilution directions on packet. Thick milk or too diluted both are harmful for babies.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Breast milk is the best milk.
But if due to any reason you have to give formula it should have a proper consistency and should be properly mixed.
I suggest you to change brand .
Hope this helps.
Take care..
