6 scoops of powder added to 180 ml (6 fl. oz. approx.) water makes 200 ml (7 fl. oz. approx.) milk drink.

You can feed your child 2 servings per day depending on their nutritional needs. Mix 1 scoop of powder to 30 ml (approx. 1 fl. oz.) of water. Approx. 173 scoops per can. 1 scoop = 4.6 g. Approx. 28 x 200ml servings per can.
