[blparent] measuring liquids for bottles

[Pipi]

I measured my water at home and carried the bottles of water with me. If I 
weere going to be gone for 2 feedings, i'd bring 3 or 4 bottles, just in 
case. I had a travel formula despensor. it's a must have in my opinion.
I also used bottles that had raised lines so that they could be relt. I used 
Gerber brand.
