First time mum ( formula milk)

Hello, I am a first time mum. My newborn is only about few days old, I have to use a formula milk due to lack of colostrum. Can I ask if for 2 scoops of dulac is equivalent to 60 fl oz, how about water? After I add to scoops of milk powder do I add the water to make it up to 60? or like hot water half and warm water half? Or what temperature. Sorry please advise.

Hey Momma, First you’ll need to pour 60ml of warm water into a bottle. If you don’t have warm water, mix a little hot water together with cooled water . Secondly, add 2 level scoops of milk powder. Cover the bottle and swirl to mix. To test if the temp is ok, put a few drops of milk on the back of your hand to make sure it is not too hot. It should just be a little warmer than room temp.

There's usually an instructions on how much to make for a newborn on the tin itself. You pour a lil bit of hot and already cooled boiled water or just boiled warm water to say 60ml then add 2 scoops of powder. Don't put powder first then water. The water should make up the whole oz.

For myself i follow the recommended dosage written on the can. I add milk powder than add warm water so example if its written 2 scoop milk 60ml water. I put milk powder into bottle than pour warm water to 60ml mark.

60ml warm water, 2 scoops. Not powder then water ya! So means 1 scoop = 30ml water
