When accuracy is essential, gram measurements should be used. Note that scoop sizes do vary among the different products. Use scoop included with the product to ensure the desired caloric density is achieved.
Powdered formulas are not sterile. “To minimize the risk of infection, powdered formulas are not recommended for use in premature or immunocompromised infants unless no appropriate alternative is available, and then only with strict medical supervision and careful preparation, storage and use.”1
