How accurate is the scale on my Philips Avent bottle?
How is the scale created?
Can inaccuracies occur?
The plastics Philips Avent and many other manufacturers use can shrink or distort, particularly when heated (e.g., during sterilizing). This process has an impact on the scale. Guidelines state that a small deviation is acceptable, and Philips Avent products fall within those guidelines.
What measures does Philips Avent take to minimize inaccuracies?
What should I do if my scale isn't accurate?
Using a weight scale to measure the volume of water will provide accurate results, while the scale on the bottle can provide a guide (even when slight distortion has occurred).
A glass measuring vessel or baby bottle is not susceptible to the same issues as plastic and can also be used as an alternative when measuring liquids.
