Mam bottle question

I would pour remaining milk in bottle into lid and Mam bottles have the mls sign on lid then calculate to oz online

I don’t understand this either, it’s such a huge design flaw. Maybe you could just pour whatever is left into a measuring cup to track? I know it’s effort but not sure what else to suggest. Designers at MAM clearly weren’t feeding small amounts to their babies 🤔

One full teat is just very slightly over 1oz. I measured this the other day so now I just tip it upside down and gauge how full the teat is. If the whole teat is full then I know it’s 1oz left, if 1/2 teat is left then 0.5oz etc… hope this helps! 💛

The lid on the mam bottles have measurements from 0-50ml so whatever he has left I just pour into the lid and work it out from there :) so if he’s had 5oz that’s 150ml and say there was 10ml left in the lid then he’s had 140ml - hope this makes sense xx

Thanks ladies! I knew about pouring into the cap but was more for during the bottle whilst she’s feeding if that makes sense? Just to stop her at 5oz because she’d guzzle it all otherwise😂😂 xx

ah this is perfect thank you! Just what I needed to know 💗

No problem at all! My little boy’s only 4 weeks but our bedtime routine consists of bath beforehand. To make sure he’s as happy as can be prior to the bath I do give him half of his bottle but try to leave at least 1oz for after the bath to help settle to bed (he’s only having between 3&4 oz). It’s just a much easier way of eyeballing it during a feed than having to tip it into a lid as never have enough hands for that 😂 xx

that’s a good idea! My little girl usually has her feed after her bath but she loves the bath and kicks off when she’s got to get out😂😂 just had to size up bottles today for her to the big ones. Emotional times🥺 8 weeks yesterday! Thank you for the tip it worked well xx

I think filling the dip in the rubber is the first oz or just above

Hiya I know I’m late to this post but why do you make 6oz if feeding 5? I also use mam and now wondering if I’ve been making the bottles wrong? I use a prep machine also x

I only did this because he was always too angry for a bath unless he had a feed but wouldn’t settle for bed after without some so I used to try and make an extra 1-2oz for him to have after.

As long as your little one is drinking their milk then I doubt you’re making it wrong. Your formula should have instructions for prep on the tin xx
