What does oz mean in a milk bottle?

The baby bottle is a daily necessity that everyone is familiar with. It is designed specifically for children. The baby bottle can help infants and young children eat better. Generally, when we use the baby bottle, we often see OZ printed on it. In fact, this is a unit of measurement.

OZ is a unit of measurement. Its Chinese name is ounce (English: ounce, translated as ounce in Hong Kong). It is an imperial unit. It is the same type of unit as our common ML and L. They are both units of capacity. 1oz=30ml, so 4oz (4 ounces) on a bottle usually means about 120 ml, and 9oz (9 ounces) means about 270 ml.

If you really don't understand, you don't need to read it. Just look at the ML unit on the right side of the scale. The volume units used in China are ML and L. OZ is a foreign volume unit. It doesn't affect the use if you don't understand it. Generally, a newborn baby can be full with 1 ounce of milk at a time, which is about 30 ml. It can be increased to 2 ounces within a week after birth, which is about 60 ml. In fact, the outer packaging of milk powder has an introduction to the amount of food. Mothers who don't understand should read the instructions carefully first, and also make adjustments according to the baby's appetite.

Nowadays, many mothers mix milk powder in the wrong way. You can often see parents putting milk powder into the bottle and shaking it vigorously up and down and left and right, for fear that the milk powder will clump and cannot be mixed out. Little do they know that such milk will produce a lot of bubbles during the process of shaking vigorously. Such bubbly milk will make the baby drink too much air, which is easy to burp or spit up milk.

The correct way is to hold the milk powder with both palms and rub it back and forth. This way the milk powder can be fully dissolved and no foam will form. Moms can try it.
