Question about 4oz Dr. Brown's Bottles

vigurl · August 2011

Have any of you ladies put more than 4oz in there? I want to try to put 4.5 - 5 oz but wonder if it will leak like the bottle says. I do not want to buy an 8oz bottle unless I need to b/c I EP and was told that my LO may never take more than 5oz at a time.

I put 5 oz in one of them all the time and haven't had any problems yet.

Thanks! Do you do anything different like not warm it as much or not screw it on as tight?

I've put more in and it's leaked a little. Give a shot and see if yours leak.

Before we moved up to the 8 oz bottles, i routinely put 5oz in the 4oz bottle. Why were you told that your LO may never take more than 5 oz? I've been EPing since DD was 3 weeks old and she now takes five to six 6 oz bottles per day.

Dont fill them to the top, but 5 ounces fits pretty well in all of mine.

I would invest in a few 8 oz bottles if it were me, they aren't terribly expensive and I think your LO will eventually want more than 5 oz. DD1 was drinking 8oz bottles when she was 9-12 months old, and DD2 now drinks 4-6 oz regularly. Plus, if you buy them now, you will get a lot of use out of them as opposed to buying them when your LO is 8-9 months old. Whenever I tried to put more than 4 oz in the 4oz bottles, they leaked, but apparently it works for some.

My mistake was to buy a dozen 4 oz bottles and she was consuming over 4-5 oz per feeding by the time she was 3 months. So I had to buy a bunch of 8 oz bottles and the 4 oz are collecting dust. If I could do it again, I would just buy all 8 oz Dr. Browns.
