[blparent] measuring liquids for bottles

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I never worried too much about sticking my fingers in the bottles.  Just 
remember that eight fluid ounces of water are equal to one cup.  So six 
ounces would be three quarters of a cup, plus the appropriate amount of 
formula.  If you know how much liquid you are adding to the bottle, then it 
isn't such a big deal, just pour it in and shake it well to mix up the 
formula.  A funnel will help you get the liquid easily into the bottle.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, 
unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into 
advance."--Franklin D. Roosevelt
