how many grams are in a scoop of Hipp?

how many grams are in a scoop of C&G?

you can use it if both scoops contain same amount of powder (probably something like 4 or 5 g).

many scoops are different...i had to bug formula on holiday and scoop was twice size of my usual scoop!

also if in doubt and you have no choice tonight but to use the scoop you have...make it more dilute than normal.
too concentrated is worse than too dilute, IMO there is no harm in too-dilute for 1 or 2 feeeds

oh! dear! maybe it's going back to work nerves! but along with many apologies for the multiple threads...! (how did that happen!)... but i just phoned up a friend and she said.. are you sure it's not buried in the milk!!??? and lo and behold.. there it was... and you're right gloworm! scoops are different sizes! the hipp organic one is huge compared to cow and gate one!!!

thank you mumsnetters!!
