Except if you have a healthy baby you figure out that exact amounts don't much matter. You will know based on how they are acting that the baby is getting enough. This is one of these things that is impossible to get until you experience it.

We have 2 talking kitchen scales and use them often for pretty much everything where the amount matters. It is how I know I am using exactly half of the sour cream container, or exactly 2 tablespoons of a stick of butter, etc.
