How much milk?

If I am putting in 210ml of water and it sits at the 240ml line after the formula has been put in. How much milk is my baby getting? (I write it down in an app and not sure which one to put it as)

Yeah I get confused by this too

@Jasmine ok so like.. just trying to understand. If formula+ 150ml water = 180ml total. And they drink 30ml going down to 150ml, how much formula would you enter into a tracking app?

It’s not too big of a deal to measure either way, but 240ml would be more accurate. The nutrition label accounts for it “as prepared” so water+formula. It’s not like adding rocks to water because the formula is being consumed, and is therefore adding to the volume.

Here's a great website that goes over why you measure after adding the formula powder and what displacement is https://fedisbest.org/2024/03/are-ounces-counted-before-or-after-mixing-powdered-formula-with-water/#:~:text=The%20answer%20is%20yes%3B%20ounces,is%20important%20for%20all%20babies.

So glad I asked this question!! Thankyou so much everyone
