Hi,
Do not upgrade formula milk just because baby is demanding more. If she is tolerating well then no need to get worried. Until you feel a rapid increase in weight gain, which is not in healthy limits.
Secondly, correct your delution. Sometimes the mother make too much diluted formulas that causes poor satisfaction of baby's hunger.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
