RECIPES FOR ADDING POWDERED INFANT FORMULA TO BREAST MILK
These recipes are designed for discharge instructions
Health care facilities should use commercially sterile forms of formula when available; any
powdered formulas used should be measured by weight
Powdered Infant Formulas
This chart was developed based on the following data:
1 tsp formula = approximately 13 cal
1 scoop formula = approximately 44 cal
Always use the scoop that comes with the can of powder formula.
Ensure family has liquid measuring containers (such as an accurate baby bottle) to measure liquids.
Babies ready for discharge do not require the accurate formula calculations that are used in the hospital.
*USE THE FOLLOWING RECIPES FOR ALL POWDERED INFANT FORMULAS (except Neocate) TO BE
MIXED WITH BREAST MILK:
Home Preparation Instructions:
To make 24 cal/oz Breast Milk:
1 tsp formula + 3 oz Breast Milk or
1 scoop formula + 11 oz Breast Milk
To make 26-27 cal/oz Breast Milk:
1 tsp formula + 2 oz Breast Milk or
1 scoop formula + 7 oz Breast milk
It is best to prepare recipes for single feeding volumes to minimize risk of bacterial contamination.
*Recipes for single feeding volumes are recommended for stability of the mixture and infection control purposes.
