I know it would be a stupid question...but i really want to know where can i get the measuring spoon for the formula milk. I am going to change from concentrate milk to formula powder, but i couldn't find the spoon inside the can....is there anyway that i can measure how many powder that i need to mix with water....
Sorry for the stupid question作者: chocoWinCY 時間: 2008-2-20 23:00
if you want free stuff...go to a pharmacy and asked them for measuring spoons...it's usually free...just tell them you need it for some liquid antibiotics 作者: koala 時間: 2008-2-20 23:06
but the direction on the can only said (Standard dilution: 1 scoop for every 60mL of water), then what's 1 scoop...is the measuring spoon that can get from pharmacy has the right measurement?作者: daimo 時間: 2008-2-20 23:08
which brand is it? I have not yet found a can without a spoon ...作者: koala 時間: 2008-2-20 23:23
Similac....作者: kaimui22 時間: 2008-2-20 23:24
what brand of formula are you using? i've used the major brands and they all have their own scoops...作者: kaimui22 時間: 2008-2-20 23:25
similac has a scoop for sure.....
where did you get your can of formula? has it been opened before?? maybe someone took it out?作者: kipposhi 時間: 2008-2-20 23:26
the spoon may be at the bottom作者: koala 時間: 2008-2-20 23:34
at the bottom????? ok...let me try to find out....i assume that the spoon will be on the top...作者: koala 時間: 2008-2-20 23:37
thx everyone...i got the spoon la......sorry for opening such a stupid topic....作者: puZZle 時間: 2008-2-20 23:54
so it was at the bottom?
that's kinda weird作者: chocoWinCY 時間: 2008-2-20 23:57
good that you've found the spoon
didn't know you meant the "scoop" for the formula...heheheeh
just a side note..if you wanna briefly measure 60mls...it's basically 4 tablespoons (NOT teaspoons)...1 tablespoon is 15mls (VS 1 teaspoon is 5mls)作者: koala 時間: 2008-2-21 00:17
Thx everyone....i have no experience at all...and is there any suggestion how to change from concentrate to formula? I know i have to change it gradually, but what is the best way?
1) Mix both concentrate and formula in every meal (e.g. on the first two days...4oz concentrate and 2 oz formula..and change it slowly) OR
2) 4 meals of concentrate milk and 1 meal of formula on the first few days...and gradually change it to 3 meals concentrate, 2 meals formula.......ongoing until every meal is formula....作者: kaimui22 時間: 2008-2-21 01:38
i think option 2 is the best
i think i read somewhere that it is best to introduce formula (or a change of formula) for 3 days..
day 1 - 4 meals concentrate + 1 meal powder
day 2 - 3 meals concentration + 2 meals powder
etc etc
until all meals are replaced with powdered formula
that way you can observe any changes in your baby during the 3-4 days in case of allergies and/or other digestive reactions (constipation ..etc)作者: blueprint 時間: 2008-2-21 07:36
hahah that's ok. Sometime I have this issue too.
"Yee!? Where is the scoop? There should be a scoop... Hm... "
dig dig dig... dig dig dig dig....
"Ah-ha! There it is!!!"
