Do you count ounces before or after you have added the formula?

[mum22ttc#3]

I make up 5 ounce bottles but once I have added the formula there is nearly 6 ounces in the bottle, when counting how many ounces she drinks do I count 5 or 6?

I'm pretty sure you count it as a 5oz bottle hun.

 

[janeydee]

i think youd count it as 5 chick as theres five ounces of water and 5 scoops x

You count it before you add the formula..

you add 5 scoops of formula, which is also 5 ounces. You add the formula to 5 ounces of water, therefore while it may total almost 6oz in volume, it's still only 5oz you're giving them.

I tried to explain this to my husband, but he refuses to grasp the concept. He also adds the water after the formula and only up to the amount he wants and I keep telling him that will make our LO constipated. *sigh* Men!
