I usually use the liquid concentrate, but am travelling soon and thought that the powdered would be more convenient (to not worry about keeping the formula refrigerated etc). So I am trying it out before I go, and am confused. Instructions say to make a 120mL bottle, mix 120mL with two scoops. But when you do that, it makes about 150mL of formula. This makes sense to me cause the powder takes up space, but then is that 150mL of mixed formula the same as 150mL of the liquid mix, or the same as 120mL of the liquid mix? This is making me feel very dumb, I just don’t want my son to go a week not getting enough nutrition…
It is very simple. My son is on the powdered (and yes it it more convient, not having to worry about refridgerating it and it lasts longer) (I have tried liquid). For every 2oz of water add one scoop of formula. This is equal to 2oz of liquid. So to answer your question it 120ml (150ml after you add scoops) is equal to 120ml of liquid. I hope this helps you. Also its more easy if you do it my oz then ml. My son is 6mo old now and has been on this since he was born. Its safe and fine. he’s as healthy as can be:)
that stuff is junk,use your boob

30 ml will not make or break your son’s nutrition cycle. Feed him until he is full!!!

dont worry, you’re doing it right and your son is getting all the nutrition he needs. You can actually make it either way, it just depends on his taste. If he likes more concentrated formula, make it so that with the 2 scoops the total is 120mL or if he likes the way it tastes slightly more diluted you can make it so that its a total of 150mL. Either way, the difference is so small it really makes no difference as long as you make sure youre using 2 scoops of formula.

150mL of prepared formula is more or less the same as 150mLs of prepared liquid concentrate (ie after you add the water) or 150mL ready to eat formula. However the powdered formula is somewhat thinner when prepared so your baby may eat more.
The other thing you need to know is that powdered formula is NOT sterile and as such may not be appropriate for premature babies or babies with compromised immune systems.
