Feeding my 5w baby 3oz of formula every 3-4 hr. formula scoops are for 2 oz. if i make 2 and 4 oz and pour on the other, formula adds volume. help!

Not difficult.: If you need to prepare 3 oz of formula, add one and a half scoops of powder to 3 oz of water. However, your 5 weeks old baby should be drinking 4oz of formula every 3-4 hrs. by now, so 2 scoops of powder in 4 oz of water. Read the instructions on the label of the can. All the instructions are very clear there.
