i just realized i was mixing the formula wrong for the last week. i have been adding half as much of the water as i'm suppose to. apparently i got mixed up on measurements and added half as much water as i was suppose to. i had noticed over the last week that she has been growing like a weed and is even a little pudgy even though i only feed her 7%. i'm wondering what damage if any i might have caused by improper mixing of her formula.

i didn't have a funnel so i was using mls to measure power and liquid thinking 60 mls of liquid would do for 30 ml of powder but the conversion didn't equate and i didn't realize it till now just a simple misunderstanding of measuring liquid and powder by volume

You don't need a funnel. (The only ones we have are to put oil in the car :D)
Just get a tablespoon scoop, like for baking. ONE scoop powder, TWO scoops water. Forget the mls, the cc's and the funnels. :D

ok i understand that what i was doing was wrong so i am not measuring it the same way and yes i am an idiot for even doing it. i get that.
what i am asking about is other than her poo getting a little hard and her getting a little pudgy should i be looking for any other adverse symptoms of getting improperly mixed formula for 5-7 days.

Her poo is supposed to be pretty hard... like little nuggets. I doubt you've caused any serious problems... I would just make sure the measurements are accurate from now on.

ty skarabrae. i was worried that the formula might block her up since i'm sure not all of it dissolved in the water
