At one time, there were guidelines on the can of powdered Enfamil on how to make a quart, I believe, using a standard measuring cup...when I called the 800 number, the lady just told me how many of those little scoops to use...
I believe the measurement was 1 cup + 1 scoop + 1 Quart of water...
Is this right? I cannot go on using that little friggin' scooper! I lose count all the time!

I know the calculations using the scoop...I need to know what it is when using a standard measuring cup

Try this link if it is anything other than enfamil with iron, you did not mention exactly which enfamil you are using

Enfamil® with Iron
To Make Multiple Bottles From POWDER
(Use these instructions only if feeding 32 fluid ounces within 24 hours.)
1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before preparing formula.
2. Measure 29 fl oz of water into a bowl or large container. This will make 32 fl oz of infant formula. Mix powder formula with cool water (35 - 75° F); it should feel cool on your wrist. If you prefer, you may mix with warm water but only if you feed or refrigerate the formula immediately. Warm water is about 100° F or body temperature; it should feel neutral (neither warm nor cool) on your wrist.
3. Add 1 unpacked, level household measuring cup (1 cup size) or a total of 124 g if weighing powder.
4. Beat the mixture with a clean fork until the powder is dissolved.
5. Pour prepared formula into bottles.
6. Attach the nipple, ring, and disc or nipple cover (depending on type of bottle used).
7. Shake for about 5 seconds before feeding.
8. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe harm. Once prepared, infant formula can spoil quickly. Either immediately feed or immediately cover and refrigerate at 35-40°F (2-4°C) for no longer than 24 hours. Do not use prepared formula if it is unrefrigerated for more than a total of 2 hours. Do not freeze prepared formula.
After feeding begins, do not refrigerate feeding bottle. You must use within 1 hour or discard.
9. Store cans at room temperature. After opening can, keep tightly covered, store in dry area and use contents within 1 month. Do not freeze powder and avoid excessive heat.
10. Use by date on bottom of can.

Not sure, but I used to use a measuring cup too. Try taking some of the formula and measuring it out into your measuring cup and see what you come up with

can u just act like you start making it.. count it out scoop by scoop... and then dump the dry mix into a larger measuring cup to figure it out?

I only know the "batch" measurements for Isomil: 1 cup + 23 oz water = approx. 26 oz. formula.
Bottle, cap & refrigerate immediately (but you knew that!)

the best thing to do is make a fresh bottle every time. if you make it in bulk it may go bad. you are only supposed to keep it in the fridge for 24 hours.
