Formula Question

Shoshi10 · November 2010

We only used the ready-made formula until recently when we switched to powder, so sorry if this is a silly question.

When I make a bottle with 6oz of water, after adding the powder, it rises to 7oz. Do I count this as a 6oz bottle or 7oz bottle?

I believe it is still 6 ounces. That is why they have you add the water first.

I would count it as a 7oz bottle.. i just recently switched from the concentrate to powder too. how is your LO taking it? mine was a bit fussy yesterday but seems better today. Mixing the powder properly is just a pain in the ass. the concentrate was just so much easier.

It counts as 6oz.

DD seems to be doing well with it. Our pedi said the powder is gassier than the ready-made, so we waited until she was really out of her gassy/colic phase. It did change her poop though, for the better I think. Sorry if it's TMI, but her poop went from dark brown, stinky, runny (on the ready-made), to yellow, thicker, and hardly any smell (on the powder).

6oz, although the volume will look/be more they are still only getting 6oz worth of formula. Plus right when you make it the formula tends to bubble, if you let it sit for 10-20 or so min it will settle back down and most air bubbles will be gone. I try to do this with every bottle to reduce the air bubbles.
