Right in I’m due a baby in August and I’m trying to get my head around the powder to formula ratio so I’m gonna start by using Cow and gate but I can’t understand how many scoops I’m meant to use per water as it just says 1 scoops for all of the ages and it just has more water the older they get but I’m sure it’s meant to be 1 scoops per a certain amount of ml water isn’t it .

It's 1 level scoop per ounce. So if you're giving 4oz, it's 4oz water and 4 level scoops.

1 scoop per 1 oz/30mls of water
So 3 scoops to 3oz/90mls
5 scoops to 5oz/150mls

Your instructions do give a number of scoops ;
No. of level scoops per feed (1 scoop = 4.6g): 4, Quantity of water per feed: 120ml, 4fl.oz,

1 scoop:1 Oz.

Measure your water first to make sure you're getting the ratio right.
