Baby Formula Mixing Calculator

Correct formula-to-water ratios for powder, concentrate, or ready-to-feed. Storage rules.

Updated April 2026

Mixing recipe

Powder / concentrate
2.0 scoops
Water to add
4.0 oz

Add the water to the bottle first, then add the scoops of powder. Cap & shake until fully dissolved.

Important safety warnings

  • Always add the water first, then the formula — this keeps the ratio accurate.
  • Never dilute standard ratios or add extra water to stretch formula. Over-diluted formula can cause water intoxication (hyponatremia) and is a medical emergency in infants.
  • Use safe drinking water. Boil and cool tap water for babies under 3 months or if advised by your pediatrician.
  • Never microwave bottles — hot spots can burn a baby’s mouth.

Storage rules

  • Mixed formula at room temperature: use within 1 hour.
  • Mixed formula sealed in the fridge: use within 24 hours.
  • Bottle the baby has started drinking: use within 1 hour — then discard.
  • Check the formula can’s printed instructions — concentrations vary by brand. Ask your pediatrician if anything looks off.
