[blparent] measuring liquids for bottles

[Peggy]

Another thing you might want to try, it's a pain to make it because counting 
scoops gets tiring, but we always made up our formula ahead of time, then we 
could just pour a bottle, warm it up, and go.  Or pour a bottle, stuff it in 
the bag and head out.  We made ours a quart at a time and it was like 16 
scoops of formula and four cups of water.  I don't think the formula 
disolves as easily as it used to when my other two were little so we bought 
one of those stir pitchers, and it worked well.  They sell those pitchers at 
Walmart so don't be fooled by buying them online they're more expensive and 
I don't think they are made as well.

What bottles do you use? I'm using Dr. Brown and I haven't stuck my
fingers inside the bottles because I usually and pouring a half cup of
water into the bottle and am making sure I'm getting the water in the
bottle. Measuring the powder isn't the issue. For me it is measuring
out a 5 ounce bottle or a six ounce.

Erik was chowing down on five ounces for a while and that isn't easily
measured out by a half cup and a fourth of a cup. Anyways, I'm
interested to know about feelable lines from within the bottle. Can
you really stick your fingers in there and get a good idea?
