[blparent] Searching for accessible, good quality, measuring device

[Brandy Wojcik]

A talking kitchen scale is your best option. Just find out the weight of
your bottle empty, and then take that away when weighing the liquid.
Anything else is going to involve you poring the liquid into something else.
Pretty soon you will know by the weight in your hand when holding the
bottle.

Hello,

First, update. Declan still in NICU, but no longer sick or on oxygen. He has
pretty extreme case of acid reflux, and though eating just fine, after
consuming only 20 to 30 ml's in a feeding, is done because reflux causing
pain. So doctors trying a few things, hoping it resolves. Other than this,
doing very well.

So, is there a device that can be used to measure liquid in a bottle? I
suppose a talking kitchen scale would work. Just need something to help
measure Declan's bottle consumption during feedings, so when at home, we
will know how much he eats when not finishing a bottle.

Also, anyone familiar with breast milk donation? I have not been able to
produce milk even though working closely with lactation nurses and doctors.
Know (should specific for JAWS users, I mean K N O W, smile) milk banks
exist, but curious if anyone has experience with this.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter
