I will chime in and say don't mix it. The milk should be full fat. "Fresh" tastes better than UHT. We like Pura but frankly that's a taste thing.

Use caution to start since it may have an effect on bowels. After that there are few limitations. Our daughters get at least a big bottle (7 fl.oz.) a day each. Remember that the formula probably has more vitamins and stuff. But baby should be getting those from "solids" anyway at this point. You can also complement with a baby multivitamin.
