Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It all depends upon how much water you are adding per scoop of lactogen.
Normally you should dissolve one scoop with 30 ml of water.
If he vomits any thing more than 3 scoops (90 ml), you may increase the frequency.
The baby needs 150 ml of formula per kg body weight for one day ( 24 hours).
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
