I'm looking after my friends little girl this morning - need to make up her bottle for a 10am feed but how many scoops of formula to add? My baby is breast fed and I'm normally given the right amount by my friend, rather than a big pot. I'm pretty sure it's aptamil she uses. (Can't speak to her at the mo).

Any suggestions?? Thank you xxx

How old is the baby?

It's usually one scoop per ounce of water, ie 7 fl oz of water = 7 level scoops of formula.

You add a scoop of formula for every oz of water if that helps.

oh, she's nearly 10 months old, if that helps...

I'd do about 8 oz of water and 8 scoops of formula unless she's already given you a ottle full of water then it's a scoop per oz.
