[blparent] Powder Formula question

[Brandy W]

Each scoop seems to vary slightly across brands. A 20 ounce container is the
powder. This is why the container usually says that it makes so many ounces
of formula. 1 scoop for every 2 fluid ounces of water.

So is it one ounce in a scoop?  Or does the size of the scoop vary from
formula to formula?
Am I correct in understanding if a container of formula has 20 ounces of
powder, it is not the equivalent of 20 fluid ounces, correct?  When you are
talking about 2 ounces in a bottle serving, we are talking 2 fluid ounces,
right?
