[blparent] Powder Formula question

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

For price, buy at Costco. Get diapers there too you'll save a lot of money.
I think the ratio is one thing of formula to two things of water. I don't think the size of the thing matters, but the ratios do.
Make in bulk using a blender.
That will save you a lot of time too, plus it's easier to do it this way, the power and water are mixed uniformly, and you don't need to wonder if you did it right.

Subject: [blparent] Powder Formula question

I am trying to decide what kind of formula I want to use when the baby
comes.  I won't be breast feeding for medical reasons.
I am of course most interested in nutrients and have done some
research and any recommendations would be helpful, but my question is
about pricing.
I am trying to compare prices and the containers give the total number
of ounces.  However, I don't know how many ounces of powder is used to
mix with 2 ounces of water.  I know they say one scoop with 2 ounces
of water, but I don't know how many ounces that is to be able to
figure out how many bottles I can make.  I do know the concentrate is
equal parts, but I am assuming the powder is not, based on the prices
I am reading since powder is supposed to be cheaper.
Can anyone help?

Heather
