Wrong scoops
I’ve been giving my son the wrong scoops of milk. He is 4 months old
E.g : 4 scoops x 240ml
My son’s a little over weight, I now know how much to give him approximately now. Will it cause any issues with him?

It depends what formula it is but as above @Lauryn said majority is 30ml or 1oz per scoop so essentially with 4 scoops you would make around 120ml milk. Depending on how long you been giving baby it like this it will provide insufficient amount of calories as usual 1 scoop is around 26kcl and could lead to poor weight gain and generally being unwell.
I agree with the above, 240ml should be 8 scoops not 4 if it goes by the 1 scoop to 30ml water It should tell you on the tub of formula though 🙃 I'd definitely go and see a GP to get him checked over as it can cause dehydration, weight loss etc

It can cause dehydration, be hard to digest and usually poor weight gain due to malnutrition. Most are 1 scoop per 30ml of water and it is important to do it correctly. How long have you been doing it wrong? I would maybe get him checked over by a gp next week
