Formula feeding you baby doesn’t have to be stressful. But mixing formula can be time consuming! Formula mixers were a saving grace for me! This amazing little machine saved me time and stress during bottle feedings!

Basically it’s a Keurig for baby formula!! This is a genius of the electronic formula mixers.
You pour the container of formula in the top section (fits 700g of formula), fill the side water reservoir (holds up to 50oz of water), push a button and PRESTO!
There are different ounce sizes to choose from to fit your baby’s feeding needs.
This handy dandy machine was a staple in my home since my milk production was slow to start then stopped after 1 month and I had to supplement with formula from day 2 of my daughters life.
Her first few months of life we used the “old school” method of filling the bottle with water, microwaving it then adding the formula and shaking it.
While yes this method works and is definitely something we would have continued doing if we couldn’t afford this machine, but splurging a little and buying this Brezza was definitely easier and less time consuming.
Especially when you are trying to make a bottle for a screaming infant at 2am!
I definitely recommend keeping an eye out for sales at Target or Amazon if your on a tight budget yet want some relief from the “old school” method.
I would definitely recommend cleaning every few days, since the formula can have some build up in the mixing area. So definitely keep that clean to avoid machine errors.

[…] Now, she did completely fine with the Similac. She loved it, it didn’t upset her stomach. It worked. We got ours at Target and would just buy the refill packs since we just dumped those into our Baby Brezza (review on that here!) […]
