I use the playtex drop-ins & I poured some milk into Dr. Brown's bottle & it came up 1/2 oz too little? I would think that it should be the same amount no maater which bottle.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The drop-in could flex out since it's soft plastic. I always used a hard bottle or a measuring cup of ounces on it for measuring for my daycare kid that uses them.

I do put more water in if I put the powder in first & shake it & it's not up to the right ounce mark. But say if I make it in the Dr. Brown bottles 4 oz that will not go in the playtex bottle kwim?

are you using the drop ins or the regular liners? If you are using the drop ins be sure to use the measurement on the outside of the plastic bottle part if you are using the regular liners with the pull off tabs then you need to measure based on the measurements on the liner NOT the bottle.

I have that same issue between Avent and Evenflo or Dr. Brown's (for the record, I despise doctor brown's because I have yet to get one which hasn't leaked!)

Oh, I'm out of ideas then. Sorry We only used the regular liners....Here is a link to what the regular liners look like. Maybe you could try those and see if it helps for the measurement to work out better. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2792434 These are the ones we used...I didn't like paying so much for the drop ins...also I had a hard time getting all the air out of a drop in where I was able to do it easily from the regular liners.

Ya know I saw those & wasn't sure how to use them. I may give them a try instead of the drop ins.

With those ones all you have to do is put them in from the top then pull the tabs down to about where the ring would end...then add your water (using the measurements
on the liner) and formula put the nipple and ring on and shake. The air is much easier to squeeze out too because the liner wants to be flat.
