[blparent] question about formulia

[Eva Adams]

For powder formula it is one scoop for every 2 ounces of water. The amount 
of formula you make depends on what your baby is eating at the time. If I 
remember right new borns to about 3 months eat 2 to 4 ounce bottles. The 
nurses in the hospital will help you figure out how much to feed your baby 
at first if you choose to bottle feed. You up the amount of formula when 
your baby seems to be not getting enough to eat. They can be fussy after 
their bottle is gone, or they seem to get hungery about every 2 hours. You 
increase the bottle by 2 ounces each time. They might not start eating the 
full two ounces, but it is easier to make a 6 ounce bottle than a 5 ounces 
bottle. Bottles are marked at every two ounces starting with two.
