How many ounces in a can?

GrumpyBear74 · February 2010

How many ounces does a large can of powder formula mix make? I'm seriously considering weaning from the pump for the last 2 months and just sending formula to daycare. Before I make that decision, I'd like to try to estimate the financial cost. Thanks for any help!

I went through a small can (the $13 one) in about 10 days with sending about 15-18 ounces to daycare.

With us, the small can of Enfamil lasts about 2-2.5 days. The large can 4 or 5 days.

I have always FF. We send a large can of nestle goodstart and it lasts about a week and 2 days before I need to send another. DD eats about 14 ounces a day at daycare.

Thanks! Are the generic brands as good as the name brands?

DS goes through about 5 cans of formula a month. We buy Costco brand formula, so that's about $50 a month (2 cans for $20).

The price is really based upon what kind of formula your LO can handle. My son has no problems so we used milk-based.
