Formula question... I put 3oz of water in the bottle once I put in the formula it goes up to 3 1/2…

For every 2 oz it's one scoop

My son is up to 3 oz

it's okay. it tends to do that because of the powder.... happens to me to. you can also try doing 4 oz and just putting the 1oz away in the frige that way you'll use the 3 oz exact....

I would just give the baby 4 oz to be on the safe side and use two scoops of formula if you put too much water it can be toxic to the baby

@mrsruvalcaba, that sounds like a good idea I'm going to do that tomorrow!

@reaganmommy2015, I can't give him 4 he is only 2 weeks old

😊

@mommypriscilla2015, my pediatrician said if baby wants more food give it to him. My baby was eating 4 oz at 2.5 weeks

My daughter was eating between 2 to 4 oz at that age as well whatever the baby doesn't drink you can throw away

@mommypriscilla2015,

I do 3oz of water 1 1/2 scoops of formula.. If you feed your baby less because you think it's too much my doctor said they can become delayed or cognitivley disabled if he/she is hungry feed her/him it is less likely to give a formula fed baby water intoxication then breast fed babies breast milk is already watered down. Every baby is different. My son is 4 months Eating every 2 hours 3oz and he eats oatmeal sleeps 11pm-6am. Happy smiley healthy baby.

I do 1 1/2 scoops for 3oz of water.

@knapppartyof5, that's not bad for their stomach?

I have been doing 3oz since he was 2 months.

He was also born 8pnds 8oz

Doctor said it was ok if he could take it. Just burp him a lot.

@mshells89, now I feel like my son is over eating he is 2weeks drinking 3oz

no that's normal all babies are different. if anything my lo should take more at a time I see 4 month olds eating 6oz. but my lo is eating every 1 hour to 2 hours cuz he's at a growth spurt. Basically u watch for and doctors watch for about 6 wet diapers at least 1 poopy diaper every other day and he's gaining weight if so no problems

That awesome to know I'm always so scared of him over eating it sounds like my little man is doing good
