Can you do half ounces on perfect prep machine?

[SassyPants87]

I bought the original and DD takes 7.5 ounces of milk. The perfect prep doesn't allow me to turn the dial to this and will only let me do 7 or 8 ounces. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my machine?

No you are meant to use formula to the ounce? It only does set numbers. Just make an 8 and discard the rest. Won’t be long in taking the full 8 anyway give it a couple of weeks

@Fromneverland the formula I use, uses mls not ounces? Atm baby takes 210ml which is around 7.5 ounces. I'll just do to 8 ounces and Chuck a bit

Do you know if you can do 2oz with the perfect prep machine.
I've yet to use mine, but I heard somewhere that the smallest you can do is 4oz.

Ah I have only ever prepared with milk that goes to the oz. just offer the extra half oz baby will probably take it if not now they will soon!

@JustYourAverageSue yeah you can only do a minimum of 4 ounces! So it's not so ideal for newborns

Just do 8oz and if baby drinks it then all good! If not, just throw that bit away.

That's annoying. I've bought some ready made to start off with, but I was thinking maybe I could decant the other two ounces into another bottle for the next feed. I expect that's probably frowned upon though.

Better to do slightly more than the baby needs and chuck some away than encouraging them to finish a bottle anyway.
