Yes - suddenly she'll pick up & drain the 5oz while you're not looking!

yes or make up a 9oz feed in a bottle and divide between 2 bottles so you know there is 4.5oz in each tho they will read nearer 5 due to the powder.

if bottle feeding i always do a little more in a bottle so there is the oppertunity for baby to have a bit more than last time should it be wanted.
