(eat) Bottles - make room in the fridge!

For the first few months, we were still learning how much the boys would eat at any given feeding. Now that they are fairly consistent, we wash all of the bottles after the last feed and pour them all at the start of the day. They eat 4 times a day now, but we always have 5 bottles for each in rotation. The morning bottles are always waiting in the fridge so we don't have to worry about measuring before the coffee starts flowing.

Because we go through a large can of formula every day and a half, we hate wasting a drop. So to differentiate the bottles, we put the caps on the ones that contain the least amounts so we know to grab those for the evening feeds.

(And yes, we have two that use Avents and one that uses a Dr. Brown bottle. At one point, two had the same bottle but with different nipple sizes, and one had the different bottle and amount. It was a bit ridiculous...)
