How do I make a 5 or 6 oz bottle of Nutramigen?

The instructions are only for 2,4,or 8 oz bottles. My baby needs 5 oz - how do I make that?? Is 6 oz 6oz water & 3 scoops?

I would assume you can simply do 3*2oz to get 6oz. How many scoops is it for 2oz?

3x2oz or half the amount for 2oz to get quantity for 1oz and then x5

Is it nutramigen 1? My little one who’s 3 months is on 5-6oz but it’s 5-6oz water and a scoop for each ounce. Maybe the other nutramigens are different xx

I'm also sure it's a scoop per oz.

It’s 1 packed scoop per 2oz of water

those aren’t at all the instructions on the formula itself…like not even close I def wouldn’t follow that.

Thank you. Is that LGG1? My tub doesn't have those instructions? Are you in the UK?

I also just learned what a packed scoop was vs an unpacked scoop

They also list the amount per scoop by weight (9g for 2oz), so we just use a good scale to measure 13.5g (9 x 1.5) to get the amount for 3oz.
