I pumped into medela bottles, less than one ounce and when I poured the milk into the NUK bag, it shows as nearly two ounces! Why is it different??

Mine are off a little bit also. I think it's because when pouring into the bag you're putting the milk in a bag, it can move and be squished. If it spread out the pleat in the bottom of the bag and widen the bag, it shows the measurement of the milk to be more accurate. I really just pay attention that I don't fill the bags over the 6 oz mark and I note how much baby drinks from the bottle I pour it into.

I have similar experience, I think cause it a soft bag and one or two ounce liquid is a little light. Maybe we should trust more on bottle when small-sizes.

Well I used 1 US gallon. I wish it were expressed in litres though! Thought he Metric Conversion Act of 1975 was the law of the land, but I suppose it could be suspended in time of national crisis! One US Gallon, make sure it is not ultra high pasteurized though and is whole milk. Next batch I am going to add some cream for added fat! Raw milk is very hard to find unless you have access to a dairy farmer! Super easy to make mozzarella!

Trying to figure this out myself. When I read the reviews for the Medela storage and feed system some people put Nuks. Let me know if you find out.

No, the mouth of the Medela bottles is quite a bit smaller than the Born Free bottles. I did use a Medela, though, and I would just empty the Medela bottles into one of the Born Free if I pumped that much. I didn't find it to be burdensome.

I thought that was weird too. We ended up buying it. It is 0.37 oz with 365 servings. We love this stuff.

I think sometimes the descriptions of these bottles are incorrect - the first time I bought them they stated two ounces but they were only one ounce. I could still use them so I did not return them. The second time I ordered they were the correct size.

I bought 3 of the vacuum packed pouches . I will pour some into the plastic 6.5 oz jar I kept from my first purchase. I can fill it up twice from each pouch . I'm not sure where your measurements etc are coming from. Buying it this way was a better deal than the jar.. Does this help?

Personally, I believe that it is a misprint. The container is 2.5 lb. (2 lb. 8 Oz.) of powdered malted milk. If the container held 2.5 gallons, it would be huge and most certainly weigh more than 2.5 lb. I was most happy with my purchase (which is long gone) & will shortly more. I don't know why the local supermarkets don't have it !!!! -Marie

Vanessa, maybe you're over filling it. Follow the instructions, there are a couple of markings inside to tell you how much milk to put in your Aeroccino. Good luck!!!

i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there. Or you can always use the cups that come with it to measure. that'd never go wrong.on a different note, if you ever have extra leftover mixture, just drink it. :) I like it that way anyways. sometimes if i made the yogurt too sour, i just add some milk, and do a yogurt drink. you can use that for smoothy as well. don't waste it~ :) i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there.

To make sure I fill a bag, I will pump into the same bag throughout the day. My left breast rarely produces more than 2.5 oz at a time. So I use that bag in the am, at lunch and my 4pm pumping sessions until it's full. I try not to freeze a bag with less than 4 oz, but it happens. I have also used a bottle on one side and Twist bag on the other and filled it that way. I am starting to pump at night since my boy now sleeps most nights and use that bag right before bed and then in the morning. Just keep the milk cold between pumping sessions and you should be good to go. (Mind you, this is all based on personal judgement on what works with my milk and my kiddo.)

I didn't measure it, but it seems to be between 18-20 oz. definitely less than my 750 ml camelbak bottle.

Just read the other answer. We must have ordered different bottles. Ours are all tiny. We ordered 6 or 7 of these for our bags and vehicles. Very tiny.

I do not recommend it. You don't want to mix different temperature breastmilk into the same container. For instance if you pumped 1 ounce put it in the fridge and then you pump again an hour or so later, you have to refrigerate the newly pumped milk and then you could mix it together once they have both been in the fridge. I would use a new bag for each time you pump.

Could be a mistake, I guess. I bought the 3.4 oz, normal is 1.7 oz, 2.5 oz, 3.4 oz, 4.0 oz

Never has for me! It gets steamy in there sometimes, but no milk. I absolutely love my Medela!
