Our babysitter always makes LO's bottles (he usually gets one formula when he's with her). Tomorrow he has to go to our back up in-home daycare and she requires bottles to be ready and she'll add in the water. So, what is a "scoop" of formula? The can just says to use an unleveled scoop. Do I use like a tablespoon scoop? Or a regular spoon? Tea spoon? Special spoon?
ETA: I'm a moron, scoop in can. I mean really, is it Friday yet?
Re: Formula Scoop Question
your can should have a scooper inside of it....
I love that you said you add water first! LoL! One day I told DH to make the bottle. Then I saw him do it backwards and was like WTF you have been totally messing up the bottles!
Also OP make sure to read the can. Some brands like soy say unpacked level scoop, and others like Nutramigen say packed level scoop.

1scoop is equal to 1 tablespoon or 3 teaspoons
LOl the 1st time DH made a bottle himself he put the formula in 1st, I was like wtf? I said put the water in1st, its easier, he was like OHHH yeah that makes sense! Men!
and yes as PP said, a scoop inside the can (and I have seen the 2 ounces per scoop)but read the can your using to make sure!
