How to mix for 3 ounces?

[SilasLove]

Alright, so I am wanting to feed my LO 3 ounces at a feed. Can I just put 3 ounces of water, then 1 1/2 scoops? Would that work? Since the can only goes for 2, 4, 6, 8 ounces. I just don't want to make her more sickly as she is already a spewer.

Thanks.

what brand is it? and what does it say on the back of the tin/carton?

some powders arent as concentrated and you add more scoops per oz of water and others its half the amoutn of scoops per oz's of water.

for example mine says

"2oz water = 1 scoop"
"4oz water = 2 scoops"
"6oz water = 3 scoops"

so going by that table the scoops are half the amoutn of water you need.

so 3oz water = 1.5 scoops
5oz water = 2.5 scoops
7oz water = 3.5 scoops

etc

hope that helps!
