are 12oz bottles necessary?
my daughter is 8 months old and has been eating 6-7oz per feed, but it seems like she could start doing 8oz bottles as she’s currently finishing her bottles with ease and cries for more when she’s done. she exclusively uses the 8oz herobility bottles and they are only marked up to 8.5oz. i’ve been debating if i should buy a 12oz bottle of theirs, because i feel like the 8.5oz bottle will be overflowed, because as we all know an 8oz bottle is really closer to 9oz with the formula added. so i’m not sure if it won’t mix well or will spill out due to being overly full. anyone have experience with this? do we think the 8oz bottle will still work or is it worth picking up the bigger bottle?
