Q: Can I use a regular 2oz scoop and use the same measurments that I would for Enfamil Gentlease? Ex: 2oz= 1 scoop 2.5oz= 1 scoop and a half etc...
A: No the proper measurements is 1 scoop per 1 ounce
submitted byAllyoubtchesmad - 6 months agoA: i would assume so but I'm sure it'll have instructions on the can
submitted bynicole - 3 years agoA: Hi! Our formula should be prepared using 1scoop per 1oz of water. Don’t worry about needing twice the number of tins though as our scoops are half the size of the standard US ones. I hope that helps you with your prep and we wish you well in your continued feeding journey.
submitted byKendamil USA - 3 years agoBrand expertA: I measured the scoop and two of the provided scoops is one normal scoop
submitted byJh - 2 months agoA: hi! so I figured it out and yes if you use a scoop from a US brand of formula it'll just be the 1 scoop per 2oz so 4oz 2 scoops 6 oz 3 scoops but again that's if you're using a US formula scoop(:
submitted bynicole - 3 years agoA: you need to use the scoop provided with the formula. this formula is 1 scoop for 1 oz of watwe

Q: how many total ounces of formula does 1 can (31.7oz) make ? I'm traveling for 1 month and trying to figure out how many cans I need to take with me for my trip . didn't find this info anywhere
A: the scoop is 0.16 oz and there are 31.7 oz in the container. Divide that and it is 198 scoops
submitted bykayla - 3 years agoA: Hi, thank you for your question. Our formula is prepared using 1 scoop per 1oz of water. As every baby is different and we suggest following your baby’s feeding cues, this will really depend on the feeding demands of your little one. As an example though, at a rate of 3 to 4 4oz bottles a day a can should last 11 days.
submitted byKendamil USA - 3 years agoBrand expertA: Three 4oz bottles over 11 days is 132 total oz. Four 4oz bottles over 11 days is 176 total oz. That's a huge difference between 132 scoops and 176 scoops of formula.

Q: Why does the description states birth to 12 months? Stage 1 on the Kendamil website states 0-6 months. Will Target offer stage 2?
A: Hi! Our stage 1 milk is perfectly suitable for babies up to 12 months old and as with all of our available formulas it meets the FDA guidelines. In fact, The World Health Organisation actually encourage parents to use it stating that it has a perfectly adequate amount of nutrients. We are currently working really hard to bring as much of our infant formula to the US as possible to ensure everyone has access to our Stage 1 milk. This means we shall be focussing on the supply of our Classic and Organic Infant First Milks for the time being.
submitted byKendamil USA - 3 years agoBrand expertA: Hello, Inesa! Thank you for your question. Stage 1 is suitable for babies aged 0-12 months. Thank you! - Tonya
submitted byTonya - 3 years agoTarget staff supportA: Stage 1 is technically for up to 12 months, so you can feed your 6-12 month old baby Stage 1 formula.

Q: Can I premake bottles to store in fridge? Would follow the instructions by boiling water but let it cool down to room temp before adding bottle to fridge?
A: Yes. Once the formula is prepared it is good in the fridge up to 24 hours.
submitted byLB - 18 days agoA: We always advise parents to follow the NHS (National Health Service) gold standard when it comes to bottle making. They advise that you should prepare each bottle with freshly boiled water, following the directions on the can, right before feeding. Once your little one has fed from a bottle any remaining formula needs to be discarded if not consumed within 1 hour. However, in any instance where this is not possible, where you need to transport a feed (for example, to a nursery), prepare the feed at home, cool under a running tap or in a bowl of cold water, and cool it for at least 1 hour in the back of the fridge. Take it out of the fridge just before you leave and carry it in a cool bag with an ice pack, and use it within 4 hours. If you do not have an ice pack, or access to a fridge, the made-up infant formula must be used within 2 hours. If you are preparing your bottles in advance for storage at home the NHS advise the following: - in a fridge – use within 24 hours. - in a cool bag with an ice pack – use within 4 hours. - at room temperature – use within 2 hours.

Q: My baby eats 4oz every 2 hours, how long will this last?
A: When my baby was eating 3oz every 2 hours, I believe a can lasted a little under a week. Maybe 5-6 days, but I don’t exactly remember.
submitted byMcm - 6 months agoA: Hi Betsy, each 800g can of formula will make approximately 208 fl oz in total which works out at 52 4 floz bottles. Hope this helps!

Q: What is the difference between this formula & Enfamil gentle ease? Is it suitable for babies who have reflux?
A: Gentlease has partially hydrolyzed (broken down) proteins to make it easier to digest
submitted byYoodoodle - 7 months agoA: Hi Momma E, our signature recipe uses whole milk sourced from grass-fed cows to provide a natural creamy taste to our formula. This means we have naturally present MFGM in our recipes which do not contain palm oil, soy, or other cheap additives. Enfamil Gentlease is partially hydrolyzed and has reduced lactose content. If your infant has a lactose intolerance, as diagnosed by a medical professional, then we would recommend you seek their advise before changing or transitioning to another milk.

Q: Hi, my baby eats 6oz every 3 hours, how long will this last?
A: Probably less than a week. Maybe just a few days? When my baby was averaging 3-4oz every 2-3 hours, a can was lasting us between 5-7 days.
submitted byMcm - 6 months agoA: Hi Dayanna and thanks for the question. You will be able to prepare approximately 35 6oz feeds from a 28.2oz can of Kendamil. Hope this helps!

Q: Is it necessary to boil the water first even if I'm using filtered water? I've never had to do this with US formula.
A: Hello, As you may know, Kendamil is a UK company and our instructions state that you should prepare each bottle with freshly boiled water, following the direction on the can, right before feeding. This is in line with the advice given by the UK National Health Service - regardless of the manufacturer. We do understand that this differs slightly from the advice that is given by the FDA and would therefore suggest checking with your paediatrician for any further clarification if you have any concerns.
submitted byKendamil USA - 3 years agoBrand expertA: Not necessary if your baby was full-term and is not immunocompromised. You can use the same water you have been using!
