    Hi everyone!

    Been meaning to ask this for a while but I keep forgetting! On the instructions for formula it says to give 1oz water for every scoop of powder so i'm using 7 oz water to 7 scoops of powder leading me to think i'm giving Dexter a 7oz bottle. But when I look at the measurement on the sideof his made up bottle the extra volume from the formula has pushed it up to 8oz IYSWIM? So am I giving him 7oz or 8oz feeds?

    I normally work on the basis that its 7oz and am not bothered if he has 1-2oz left at the end of his bottle but if the volume has gone up to 8oz wouldn't that mean he's having an oz more than i'm accounting for?

    Apologies if that doesn't make sense, it confuses me just as much!
