My best friend was telling me the Tommee Tippee bottles were like this as well, so weird.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435177 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:18:27 +0000 purrpletulips 435177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: good, I'm not going crazy.</p> <p>I never use the amount listed on the bag because I've found that it makes a difference whether or not the bottom is fully expanded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435166 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:15:23 +0000 winniebee 435166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I should mention that the storage bags always read differently than the bottles I pumped into but I just trusted the bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435162 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:14:25 +0000 prettylizy 435162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this problem going from the bags to a bottle, the bags always had more than the bottle said it had </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435157 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:13:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 435157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird! I used Dr Brown, Medela, and Comotomo bottles and didn't notice any differences... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435128 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:04:26 +0000 mrsjazz 435128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I use: 1) Medela 5 oz. bottles w/my pump 2) Lansinoh 6 oz. storage bags and 3) mOmma 5 oz. bottles for feeding and they are NOT the same amount! At first I thought I was going crazy. No comprende! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435125 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:03:47 +0000 Mrsbells 435125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had this problem with drop in liners by playtex. all other bottles I use have pretty much the same measurements </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435124 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:03:37 +0000 winniebee 435124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't noticed that, but I always measure out the liquid (formula) in a medela bottle before putting it into our playtex drop in bottle because those are hard to tell how much is in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-ounce-is-an-ounce-except-in-baby-bottles#post-435120 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:01:10 +0000 purrpletulips 435120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump into 5oz Medela bottles that came with my pump and by those pumped 11oz for the day. However when I transferred the BM into my 9oz Gerber bottles that I use for storage I had 13oz. Tonight when I make DS' bottles for tomorrow (Breastflow 5oz) I will most likely be 1oz short or have 1oz extra (DS drinks three 4oz bottles while I'm at work).</p> <p>Has anyone else noticed that an ounce of BM/F in one brand of bottle does not always equate to an ounce in another brand? </p>
