When I pour my pumped milk into a bottle it gets foamy — am I pumping less than I think?

Foam forms when I pour milk into the bottle; did I pump less than the measurement shows?

Bottle foam from pumped milk actually makes the amount look bigger than it really is. Bubbles create volume above the measurement line and can confuse you about how much you pumped. To fix this: after filling the bottle, wait a few minutes — as the foam settles, you'll see the real amount. Or pour the milk slowly down the side of the bottle instead of from high up; fast pouring from a height creates more foam. The real amount you pumped is what the settled milk shows — don't worry, the foam is air, not lost milk.
