    I just changed from Neosure to Good Start (finally!!!). I bought the larger (25.7 oz) can but it doesn't give directions on how to mix anything greater than the 8oz bottle (using the scoop). With Neosure, I can mix 1 cup to 21oz of water. Is this also the case (same ratio of mix to water) for GoodStart?
    Thanks,
    Holly

    I'm not sure, when I mix up a big batch I just do the same 1 scoop to 2 oz of water ratio. It is a big pain, I wish I knew some other short cut...maybe someone else will know!!

    ETA: Good Start will send you good coupons (like $11 off and $1 off coupons every two weeks) up until 6 months, so make sure you register with them on their website!

    Not sure... I hope someone can help you.

    I always mixed as I used them... I wasn't good at pre-doing anything, LOL

    I looked at VeryBestBaby.com and couldn't find any information. Their toll-free # is (800) 284-9488 and they are open from 8am to 8pm EST. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

    when I called to get signed up for their new-mom coupons, i asked about that, because i noticed big-batch recipes weren't on the can. the lady i was on the phone with gave me measurements in cups and such, upon request, but i dont remember what they were (sorry). but you could call and get the info from them, at least (HTH).

    /I did ask about why the instructions weren't on the can, and just got some generic non-alarming reply (you can tell i was juggling 2 babies and a pot of stew too, right?) [​IMG]

    Measure the scoop- the scoop for most formulas is 1 tablespoon (put water in the scoop and pour into a measuring spoon) if it is then figure from there. One cup is 16 tablespoons so that would go with 32 oz water.

    I was about to say the same thing. You could just measure out the number of scoops you use in their bottles per day (one scoop to two ounces) in a measuring cup, then you'll know! [​IMG]

    I did call when my boys were on formula. She said for every 29oz of water to add 1 cup, 2 tablespoons and 1 scoop of formula. Someone else once posted 1 cup for every 23oz of water.

    If you call, get a reference # for their multiples club. Then you can send in (fax or mail) copies of the birth certificates or hospital cards and they will send coupons for small cans of formula.
