Recommend Your Bottles

Smallllmin

We use the Joovy Boob bottles, which LO likes just fine.
Now that he drinks 8oz at a time, however, it's hard to make the bottles because they only go up to 9oz.
So by the time I add 8oz of water, and 4 scoops, there's no way to get a good shake.

Ideas?
TIA

With my first, I liked Dr Brown's bottles best, and I loved the Dr Brown pitcher. It was easier for me to mix up a full day's supply and fill the bottles from that than to mix them individually. If you want to use the bottles you have now, the pitcher might be worth a look.

I'm lazy and like playtex drop ins. Not the best for the environment I'm sure but super convenient

Platex Aire Vent for us.

Super cheap, easy to replace the nipples, and not a lot of parts.

Mix the formula in a measuring cup first then pour it in the bottle.

I also vote for mixing in a different container. With N, I would mix a day's worth of bottles the night before. He had awful gas and reflux, and I felt like doing it ahead of time helped some of the bubbles rise to the surface so it didn't bother his tummy as much.

When ds2 was still on bottles/nursing I would make up his 5 3-ounce bottles (yes up to 12 months he was only drinking 3 ounces at a time - anything more he'd spit/vomit back up) at night before I went to bed. I first did the bottles of pumped milk and then made the remaining ounces of formula and filled those bottles. Having the formula premade and in bottles was handy - just grab and feed.
