[blparent] Liberti is here & question

[dacia.luck at gmail.com]

Little girl is drinking approximately 5 ounces per bottle. So that is a little harder to measure. Especially when I don’t always pump the same amount each time I pump. So I am looking for an accessible way to do it.

She's almost eleven now and except for preferring junk food to vegetables, she's thriving as far as eating goes. So I wish you luck with nursing, but whatever happens, skip the mom guilt.

> Ashleigh, congratulations on the birth of your daughter. My sons are now grown and I have grandchildren, but there may still be plastic bottles with tactile markings. That is what I used. They weren't special. For newborns you wouldn't want more than a 4 ounce bottle and you could probably fill with enough liquid to reach your finger if you were doing a 2 ounce bottle. I did notice, though, that bottles used when my grandson was born almost 5 years ago that the bottles felt much different than the ones I used.  I'm sure others have better and more current suggestions, but that worked all those years ago. My younger son also had trouble breast feeding mostly because I could not produce enough, but they have survived into their 30's so I guess all of us made it! Good luck.

My question is, does anyone have good suggestions for measuring ounces of milk? I am thinking are you talking scale is a great way to go, but it also sounds like a hassle. Does anyone have any good tips or tricks for measuring specific ounces?
