How do I make 3oz formula bottles??

Question

I'm a FTM. My 2 week old just graduated to drinking 3oz he is still hungry at 2oz and will not drink 4oz. I use similac neosure bkuz he had glucose problems. However the instructions only show for 2,4,6 and 8 oz no odd numbers. Can you refrigerate leftover? I thought of making 6oz bottles and splitting them and refrigerating half til the next feeding? Please anyone help!!!

Answer

Just take whatever the directions for the 6 oz bottle and cut it in half.

Answer

As a general rule, it is safe to refrigerate prepared baby formula in a sealed container for up to 24 hours.2 Some prepared baby formulas can be refrigerated for longer than 24 hours if stated on the product label. Always check the specific product label to determine storage conditions and time. Do not exceed the recommended storage times.

Answer

One scoop for every 2 oz. so half a scoop is 1 oz. You would fill a bottle with 3 oz water and add 1 and a half scoops of powder.

Answer

You can use 1 & 1/2 scoop or make 6oz and refrigerate the rest for the next feeding

Answer

I would make a 6 oz and refrigerate the rest I use enfamil it says a bottle is good in the fridge for 24 hours or at room temp for two hours. Check to see if it says anything on the can about storing made bottles and how long they are good for.
