Drop Ins Vent and PSA

Has anyone tried using the Target Brand (UP & UP) drop ins...I bought a box and they are not accurate at all. I tested it out and each liner is different and I had to fill it to 7 or 8 oz in order to get 6 oz. So now I have to use a avent bottle to fill the water to 6oz then dump it into the drop inChat Icon
thank god i tested it out first. This is what I get for tring to cheap out. Throwing this box out and getting Playtex today.

That is why we went back to the playtex brand, the measuring was driving me nuts.

I tried them, but liked the playtex ones much better, so went back to playtex when the box was done.

Re: Drop Ins Vent and PSA

This was a huge issue when I was using these and this is what I found out.

There are 2 types of liners- Playtex expandable drop ins and Playtex drop ins.

Some of the older playtex bottles actually have 2 different markings- one for expandables and the other side is marked for the non expandables

Target and other generics are NOT expandable.

So if you fill to the 8 oz marker on the BOTTLE- you only get about 6 ozs

Let me find the thread where we were talking about this- it's confusing!

thank you for bumping. some go to the 7 line some go to 7 in half, others are to the top?! Also they take 6 oz., the water goes to the 8 line then i have to add the formula and it over flowsChat Icon so frustrating. also, in a few days they will prob be up to 7 oz and these will be totally useless. ahhhh this is too much work for twins !Chat Icon
