[blparent] hello i have some questions!

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi Crystal.  Welcome to the list.  My name is Leslie and I have an 8 month
old son named Michael.  This list is very supportive so feel free to ask
away. Okay, now the answer to your question about bottles.  I use the 2
ounce bottles I got from the hospital.  They have tactile lines at .5 ounce,
1 ounce, 1.5 ounce, and 2 ounces.  I fill up the hospital bottle with 2
ounces at a time and then pour the water in the bigger bottle. So if I have
a 4 ounce bottle, I pour the 2 ounce bottle in twice.  If I want to make up
8 ounces of formula, I pour the water from the hospital bottle in 4 times,
2, 4, 6, 8.  Another thing you can do is pour through a funnel.  Depend on
your formula, it's usually 1 scoop per 2 ounces of water so do read the
instructions thoroughly just to make sure.  Hth
Leslie

Hello to all! I just had a little baby girl last week. I was wondering as a
blind mother how do u fill the bottle with water to the right line for the
formula. I am having some trouble getting the amount of water just perfect
for the bottles. I was wondering if any of u had any suggestions on how to
make bottles. I tried getting a cup of water and pooring the water in to a
measureing cup and then pooring that in to the bottle but for some reason it
doesn't come out right. I want to thank all of u for your time and
appreciate all your help.
Crystal
