How to Use Similac Concentrate

Similac concentrate is a liquid baby formula with some of the water removed. This decreases the amount of space the container takes up, but like condensed soup, you cannot serve this formula to your baby as it is. It must be diluted with water for your baby. Look for Similac concentrate wherever baby products are sold.
