If it is 2 scoops to 4 oz that would break down to 1 scoop per 2 oz. So for 6 oz you would need 3 scoops.

K.,
It's one scoop of powdered formula for every two ounces of water... so just as you have said it's:

1 scoop for 2oz.
2 scoops for 4 oz.
3 scoops for 6 oz.
4 scoops for 8 oz.

Hey, well for 6 oz I used 3 ounces, however now that my daughter is 9 months I have moved her to 6 oz and 2 1/2 scoops, but usually it is 1/2 of the water amount. Good Luck with your baby boy!!!

answers from Detroit on

If 1 scoop gives 2 ounces. 2 more scoops, which will equal 3 scoops leaves you with 6 ounces.2times 3 =6. Answer is 3 scoops. I know its hard to understand when looking at only what they list on the container. I am weaning my daughter of the breast and to go from not measuring anything for the past 7 months to start doing that is confusing. Good Luck. N. K

I believe it is 1 scoop for every 2 ounces, so if you need to make 6 - you would use 3 scoops.

for a 6 ounce bottle of water, you would use 3 scoops of formula. it is always the amount of water divided by half. hope this helps!

I agree, 3 scoops. Also, formula is only good for no more then 2 hours after mixed with water and the powder is I think a month after being opened, just so ya know.

No, its not a stupid question. What seems easy to some people may not be for others. Especially when it comes to your baby. I often find myself making things way too difficult in an effort to get things perfect for my little ones! I also have a toddler and a baby (and a teenager), it's easy to overlook the obvious when you are busy with the babies!

You can refigerate formula for like 2 days or something (the can should say). I used to mix up a batch a day. Then all I had to do was pour it into the bottle and warm it. It was easier for me, especially for the middle of the night feedings when I was half asleep or when DH or my MIL was going to feed DS for me. I was always having to walk them through how to do it.

prettty easy... 1 scoop for every 2 oz of water. 1 scoop goes with 2 oz... 2 scoops with 4 oz... 3 scoops with 6 oz... 4 scooops 8 oz.

I personally would use the liquid concentrate- which mixes 1 ot 1 with water. so you put in 2 oz of concentrated formula.. and 2 oz of water..

1 scoop equals 2 ounces of milk. So you would need 3 scoops to make 6 ounces of milk.
