[blparent] New Here With Questions

[Brandy W]

The parents are nice to put it in the dispenser for you. It is ok if the
formula is a tiny bit off so I just guess half a scoop for the odd numbered
ounce. Bran

Melissa, That's a great idea.
I have a question about mixing odd numbers of ounces, just because I'm
curious.  I only had one formula-fed baby, and if I remember right, the
powdered formula came with a scoop that was the right size for 1 scoop of
powder to every 2 oz of water.  How would you then change that to an odd
number of ounces?  All the babies I sit for come with the little dispensers
that you just dump into the bottle so I haven't scooped powdered formula for
many years.  Or do most of you use the liquid?
Thanks,
Leanne
