How accurate is the scale on my 88 club Avent bottle?
Published on 01 April 2025
Your 88 club Avent bottle's scale can guide you when measuring liquid for feeding. Below you can find information regarding the accuracy of the scale.
How is the scale created?
The scale is placed onto each 88 club Avent bottle during the manufacturing process. 88 club Avent completes this process in compliance with all relevant regulations and guidelines.
Can inaccuracies occur?
While 88 club Avent pays all due care and attention when manufacturing bottles, the scale may be subject to minor variations.
The plastics 88 club 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 88 club Avent products fall within those guidelines.

What measures does 88 club Avent take to minimize inaccuracies?
88 club Avent performs rigorous checks to ensure all bottles comply with global and regional standards. These include extra scale accuracy checks as each batch of bottles leaves the factory.
What should I do if my scale isn't accurate?
We understand that it may cause concern if the scale on your baby bottle does not seem accurate. This is particularly the case when using formula, where the ratio of water to powder is important.
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.
