Bottles / Feeding Gear / Equipment đŒ What is this hype about baby breeza?
Iâm not from the US.
Could someone explain it to me why people are hyping over 300$ formula dispenser? Reminds me of these âstartupâ juice squeezers âJuiceroâ that seems like an overkill to something which isâŠextremely simple to prepare?
Why not 40$ bottle warmer and putting a water bottle into it to be at ready-to-eat temperature at all times, to which one can just add formula straight before feeding?
Am I missing something?

No measuring, no warming, no need to shake the bottle. Itâs very convenient, especially during the middle of the night with a newborn when youâre very sleep-deprived.

u/talleyhoe Sep 07 '25
Shaking is a big one here!! Whenever I make a bottle by hand when weâre out, I have to shake it to get the formula to incorporate (swirling doesnât do it) then I have to wait for the bubbles to settle out so Iâm not gassing the little guy. The brezza at home is just so much more convenient. Plus I got it as a shower gift so it was free (to me anyway đ)

u/WhereIsLordBeric Sep 08 '25
Just swirl.

u/talleyhoe Sep 08 '25
Swirling does not work.

u/howlslilbee Sep 08 '25
Can second that swirling takes a thousand years and you may as well shake the bottle and just wait for the bubbles to settle. The dr brownâs pitchers are where itâs at.

u/wag00n Sep 07 '25
We have so many handmedowns and freebies that I was willing to splurge for the convenience. However, the constant cleaning and glitches I read about put me off. We ended up getting the warm water dispenser instead. Also got the waterless BabyBrezza bottle warmer (âAirSwirlâ) for when we make bigger batches.

u/kg_617 Sep 08 '25
A friend of mine had one and her husband suspected that it wasnât giving the same amount of formula per bottle so he put Saran Wrap on the bottle and dispensed formula a few times and every time it spat out a different amount.
2
u/wag00n Sep 08 '25
Iâve read so many of these stories and BabyBrezzaâs response has always been to re-calibrate even if parents say theyâve done that already. It also sounds like it doesnât work unless itâs perfectly clean. I just donât see how this will help sleep deprived me.

u/Cautious_Werewolf_32 Sep 08 '25
Yep, mine looked so watery on some bottles but not the others, even though we checked setting was right and didn't touch it further. I got rid of it and also switched to dispenser.

u/OrdinaryAnxiety8394 Sep 08 '25
Also have the AirSwirl and love it!

u/wag00n Sep 08 '25
Oh good! I actually havenât tried it yet but was sold on being able to pull out a dry bottle.

u/OrdinaryAnxiety8394 Sep 09 '25
The start button is a little finicky with smaller amounts in bottles (something about it not triggering the motor because itâs so light) but now that my guy is up to 4 ounces a feed, itâs been awesome.

Frigging love my brezza. So much I have one on each floor of my house and I bought one for my parents.
I have a bottle ready for any amount that I want, at any of 3 available temperatures, within seconds. I'm not going to the fridge, waiting for anything to warm, or measuring anything in the middle of the night.
That being said, they are like $200 bucks (not $300), but I still I REFUSE to pay for it full price. Every single one has been bought second hand at ~$60 bucks each.
The product is a great concept, but they all have something off about them. They need to figure out a way for the water to dispense without touching the formula hole and clogging at the funnel. One doesn't work at the lowest temperature. The other one's watertank and funnel are really hard to take out.
Sincerely, another maker needs to swoop in and bring some competition to this one.

u/_avocadont Sep 07 '25
I was inbetween 3 different products.
Double bottle warmer, used as you described. Water in bottle, left warm until needed. I decided against it because I use boon nursh bottles and they're REALLY annoying to dry off because water gets between the liner and shell.
Warm water dispenser, constantly gives perfect temperature water for bottles. Almost got this one, if my brezza ever dies I will most likely go back to this. Biggest perk to me is the ease of adjusting the ounces, my baby can be really inconsistent.
Baby breeza, instant warm mixed bottle in seconds. The biggest reason I chose it is because of the one handed operation and just being the fastest. Really nice when baby is on my hip screaming at 4am.

u/beckbeck87 Sep 07 '25
Exactly this. I feel like so many who are anti-brezza in this sub act like weâre out here irresponsibly feeding our babies because theyâve âheard it doesnât dispense the right amountâ and itâs always people who have never used one with the biggest opinions. I think weâre all smart enough to test itâs dispensing enough regularly. Sorry for the rant đ Iâm over the brezza hate for no reason.

u/chiritarisu Sep 07 '25
It just comes off as so pretentious and itâs disappointing to see it in this forum. Like canât we respect each otherâs choices? Goddamn.

u/messibessi22 Sep 07 '25
Right?! Literally just let people do what works for them. I know lots of moms love baby wearing but my baby absolutely refuses any carrier Iâve ever put him in so as a result theyâre a waste of money for me to buy but that doesnât mean theyâre a waste of money for other families
1
u/eggplantruler Sep 08 '25
Omg the same thing with my kid! Iâm fat, so finding a good carrier was already a problem. And then my daughter HATED it. She didnât like being so confined and close to me. I think because we both get hot/sweaty so easily we were baking each other lol.
It was so annoying to see people recommend them as if they were the be all solution to any crying baby. Not line!

You donât have to measure and warm the water, you donât have to measure the formula. Sure if 300$ is expensive for you, might not be worth it, but if it is not, itâs a convenient device.

I was a pitcher mom. I basically started feeding my baby cold formula from day one. However I think cold formula had an unintended consequence and now my preschooler demands all of his drinks be icy cold.

u/bloomed1234 Sep 07 '25
This is what we did. And honestly, taught the babies to drink cold formula as soon as theyâd tolerate it đ

My babies had no problem with cold formula. Boomer grandparents think Iâm mean but they both loved a cold bottle.

Lolll my babies have had room temp or cold formula since birth. Even my preemie. The NICU started it and we were just like oh well she has no issue with a cold beverage đ I donât think our son (~8 months) has ever had a warm bottle. Our daughter (2yo, the preemie) had maybe 3 in her entire first year. And no one can make me feel bad about it lmao neither of them mind!

Us too, baby never seemed to mind it!

Used a pitcher for my first. Got the brezza as a gift for my second and itâs 100% my most used item đ€·đ»ââïž itâs also not $300 unless you get the WiFi enabled one which is not necessary.

u/howlslilbee Sep 08 '25
I do the pitcher/warmer combo too but I understand the appeal of the added convenience. For me itâs not worth taking up space on my counter (I have a â60s house with a small-ish kitchen), especially as a fleet of bottles takes up space on the counter to dry as well.
My first didnât go for cold formula but Iâm definitely going to try it with this next kid.

u/haileyrose Sep 07 '25
Totally! I wonder if everyone has babies that can wait patiently because mine will go from volume 10 to 100 in like 7 seconds. And if I donât get a bottle in his mouth within 30 seconds my older son will then wake up and it will be 3 hours of hell. So thank you whoever invented the brezza!

u/Coxal_anomaly Sep 07 '25
I never got it either. My tap water is drinkable, comes out at any temperature I want, and I can premeasure doses for the day in under 2 mins in a 5 euros dispenser I can buy at any pharmacy. Making a bottle in the day of night took me less than 45 seconds.Â
I find parents are the perfect âoversell demographicâ. No one wants to be seen as a cheapskate or as endangering their childrenâs development/future, and it is extremely easy to get caught up in the visuals advertising sells us.Â
Best advice I was given and pass on as a parent is âdonât anticipate problems before you know your kidâ. If your kid has trouble sleeping and it drives you insane, buy the snoo and the swaddles and see what works! If the bottle making is killing you, buy the Brezza. But until the kid has a problem, I donât see the point in giving my hard earned money to something I donât know if Iâll need or not.Â

u/lsumoose Sep 07 '25
45 seconds vs 5 seconds. Every 3 hours over 6 months adds up. Time value of money is a real thing that people donât realize.

u/shortstaxx713 Sep 08 '25
I donât get it. I formula fed. Just made a pitcher of dr. Browns at night. Weighed the formula on a scale. Takes like 2 minutes and husband would fill bottles in the morning for like another 1min. We had a bottle warmer too that we used primarily for newborn stage only and transitioned off of it rather quickly. Also I read that thereâs been issues with formula dispensing? The cleaning seams more difficult then Just having two pitchers in rotation where I throw one in the dishwasher at night? I donât get it. I think itâs primarily people who just opted for it right away and donât realize that itâs not that much more of a convenience (arguable).
2
u/Ok-Sir3751 Sep 08 '25
You only clean the funnel after every 4 bottles. It goes super quick! Some people also tend to buy a spare funnel which means only cleaning after 8 bottles. The other parts only need to be cleaned once a month and again this goes super quick! I done the pitcher before and never realised what I was missing until I got my beloved breZza. But each to his own! Everybody should just do what works for them without hating on the choices of others.

The Baby Brezza is my favorite baby item! It simplifies formula to a button push. Weâve checked the formulation multiple times and itâs been accurate for us. My baby gained weight wonderfully and is in the 100% percentile for height.

u/Comfortable-Fly-8099 Sep 07 '25
I have twins During the newborn phase with all the night feedings, we were tired and babies were crying and this machine saved us. I got mine on sale with discounts. This was a lifesaver for us. As parents, yes there are lots of gadgets and tools out there, just pick whatever you find useful

For us it just didn't make sense. And we don't mind splurging on any gear to make our job at night easier. But after finding out that they are owned by the Betesh Group, we are fine passing on anything Brezza moving forward.

u/aimango Sep 08 '25
we at first started with the pitcher method + reheating with a bottle warmer. Then around 3 months, we started using pre-measured formula containers + zojirushi thermos with baby's favored temp, and have been doing this ever since (baby is now 11 months).
we never really considered the brezza formula dispenser because of hearing about all its issues, and it seemed annoying to clean. plus we have very limited counter space, and didn't want a whole machine just for dispensing formula (the thermos is useful for us for non-baby beverages too).
also Im actually curious how people travel with baby if they get used to the brezza formula dispenser, we like our system since it works for both at home + traveling.
maybe for baby #2 we'll add the brezza formula dispenser to our registry just to try it out, especially for the early months of groggy + tired night feedings.

u/bravelittletoaster7 Sep 07 '25
I just use room temp water for formula bottles, but we make bottles on demand so no need to refrigerate. My baby also gets breast milk bottles a few times a day and to warm those up we just get a plastic leftovers container (like from takeout or yogurt, etc) and fill it with hot water from the sink to place the bottle into to warm it up. Maybe it's not the fastest way but it gets the job done and it's essentially free!
Edit: I've also seen complaints about the baby brezza not dispensing the right amount of powder! I use a scale to measure out the correct amount of water and formula. I don't even rely on the "scoop" to measure, it's usually off by a few grams depending on how you scoop it!

u/maryhoping Sep 07 '25
I really don't get it either, it takes me maybe a minute to make a bottle if I have to be quick. Seems like a total waste of money to me. But I guess if I was rich and money didn't matter to me, sure I'd buy it đŹ

u/Ok-Sir3751 Sep 08 '25
The most honest reply đ I think alot can't afford it or wouldn't spend that amount on it so they just end up hating it lol

u/maryhoping Sep 08 '25
And then there have apparently been issues with it dispensing the wrong amount of powder ratio, I am not sure what it was exactly, but imagine spending all that money to have it mix your formula wrong...đ
2
u/Ok-Sir3751 Sep 08 '25
That would definitely suck! I'd just return it or get them to fix it or something. I was worried about it too before I got it (because of all the comments on here) but I test it out regularly and so far its been dispensing the correct amounts. So luckily no issues for me!

u/gardengnomebaby Sep 07 '25
I also donât get it. It takes me less than 30 seconds to make a bottle. I think itâs a thing for wealthy people to spend their money on because it is marketed as making your life easier lol

u/Gr8_gardener Sep 07 '25
But it lowkey does make your life easier đ if itâs 2am and I need a bottle I go and press a button and itâs made. I donât have to pre-measure formula, get water to the right spot etc. especially if my baby wants more milk in the morning and less throughout the day, itâs less waste for me bc I can just tap a button for an oz change. I will never have another baby without it! Itâs also not $300, ours was under $200 new. As a parent whatever makes life easy is an easy sell to me!

u/Wildflower_Spirit Sep 07 '25
We got our brezza pro advanced (non WiFi version) on fb marketplace for $90 and the sellers provided an extra funnel. Itâs the best investment we could have made with having an exclusively formula fed baby. It can make a 3oz room temp or warmed bottle in 5 seconds (not an exaggeration) with the push of a button and without measuring. Itâs a lifesaver for those groggy night time feeds!!

u/spaaanko Sep 07 '25
You do you boo. But I will take my already warm bottle and feed my baby before you even get the powder measured and water poured. It is the convenience for me.

u/Ambitious_Address_69 Sep 07 '25
Itâs bougie not going to lie. I have no idea how to mix a bottle without one. Granted Iâm a FTM to a 9 week old so Iâm sure at some point Iâll have to make a bottle without it. I initially wanted to do the pitcher method but after a rough first few weeks of postpartum and feeling like a failure at breast feeding, I couldnât mentally handle the logistics of making formula pitchers. I also had a c section so the thought of coming down the stairs and back upstairs was too difficult during my recovery. A mini fridge wasnât all that much cheaper and was an alternative idea. I decided to order the breeza without much thought while I was weening after 2 weeks because I wanted to make my life as simple as possible in that moment. And it is simple although a little bit of a PIA the amount of times you have to clean the filter part but that was easy to work into the routine. I carry it upstairs each night along with however many bottles Iâll need. I leave it next to our bed and have the bottle ready to go within a minute and virtually no mess to clean up.

u/yougottabkittenmern Sep 07 '25 edited Sep 07 '25
We got it as a gift otherwise we likely wouldnât have bought it due to the price. But honestly now that I have it the price is definitely justified. Iâve seen some barely used secondhand on Facebook marketplace or even given away (if you donât mind cleaning and sanitizing) when the baby is hungry it warms and dispenses the bottle immediately. Ready to feed is more money over time and formula options that come in it are more limited but I would probably have ended up doing that because hand scooping is really a pain. Also some babies will take cold milk and my daughter doesnât actually mind it but she has reflux and warm goes down much better for her. Bottle warmers seem like a hard extra step if your baby really doesnât need it.

u/lulu131992 Sep 07 '25
UK here. How do you know its the correct scoop to water ratio as it says on the formula package?

u/beckbeck87 Sep 07 '25
There are ways to test it.
4
u/lulu131992 Sep 07 '25
It's not recommended by the nhs as an approved way of making bottles as it doesn't meet the 70c in order to kill the bacteria in the formula powder and it may not give the correct amount of formula needed in the amount of water which can cause constipation and make a baby sick. Therefore the baby brezza and tommee tippee perfect prep aren't recommended.

u/beckbeck87 Sep 07 '25
Ok well in the US itâs not stated to sterilize formula. And again. There are ways to test that itâs dispensing enough formula.

Iâve never heard of sterilizing the formula powder isnât the powder already safe for the baby to drink?

u/lulu131992 Sep 08 '25
No, in the UK, formula powder isn't sterile. Therefore the water needs to be minimum 70c in order to kill any bacteria in the powder which can be dangerous to babies and can make them unwell. The perfect prep isn't recommended byvthe nhs because the water may not reach the ideal temperature of 70c to kill the bacteria, the baby brezza also isn't recommended by the nhs for this reason as well and because it might not give the correct scoop to water ratio.
1
u/messibessi22 Sep 09 '25
Oh interesting Ive never heard of needing to sterilize it. In my experience it always gives the proper amount but I totally get not using it if you have to do something special with formula in the UK
1
u/lulu131992 Sep 09 '25
Just like we cant use bottled water to make formula as it contains too much sodium, as ive heard, americans can use bottled water to make formula . So we have to boil tap water instead.
1
u/messibessi22 Sep 09 '25
Your bottled water contains sodium?? That is wild
1
u/lulu131992 Sep 09 '25
Yes, it can contain high levels of sodium and sulfates. This therefore can harm a baby's health and bottled water isn't sterile either. So boiled water is recommended by the nhs in the UK for making formula,minimum 70c to remove any bacteria that may of got into the powder during manufacturing.

u/SkyBabeMoonStar Sep 07 '25
I wouldnât bother to get one because you have to clean itâs parts after every 4th use and my baby is eating every 2 hours, didnât make any sense to me. Iâve got a portable formula/water warmer and it did the job perfectly! Pre measured powder, I heated up the water in the warmer (baby didnât eat room temp whatever I do she didnât..) mix mix and done in less than a minute.
First 2 months I had to do pitcher as the formula needed to be done with certain temp water and cooled down. But next time if I have a baby, I will get that tommee tippee hot shot style formula maker because it was dreading doing the other way!
6
u/beckbeck87 Sep 07 '25
Most brezza users have 2-3 funnels. Youâre not cleaning the entire machine every 4th use youâre just replacing the pop out funnel which takes two seconds then the dirty one goes into the dishwasher with the rest of my stuff bc I have extra ones on hand.
2
u/SkyBabeMoonStar Sep 07 '25
Yeah I considered this actually but Kendamil also WHO had this guide that we have to prep the formula with 70 degrees in C pre boiled water to kill any potential bacteria in the powder as itâs not sterile. I had to do it this way upto 3 months (couldnât take any risk when sheâs a newborn) then skipped that step after 12 weeks. Tommee tippee does hotshot to prep it and I personally think it would be my preference to stay in the safer place with formulas like Kendamil. I use brezzas sterilizer and dont know what I would do without it! I like the brand so much wish theyâd do the dispenser that also works with the formulas needs to be prepared with hotter water.

u/JerkRussell Sep 08 '25
Absolutely pure laziness and consumerism. If youâre not sterilising the powder, how hard is it to turn on the tap, fill the water, add a couple scoops and shake? A lot of comments are saying the babies are screaming, but so what? Iâm not trying to be callous, but thatâs what babies do. It wonât hurt them to wait 60 seconds for their bottle. Then at a base level you donât even know if the thing is measuring properly. Ugh hellll no. đ

u/PaNFiiSsz Sep 08 '25
Yup. My friend's dispenser was not measuring her formula correctly .. so her baby was getting more water than formula .. he was losing weight .. also so many people on reddit and fb say they have the same problem .. it doesn't always dispense what it's supposed to! .. so yeah idc about "fast" or "convenience"

Gosh. Its so convenient. You get a bottle made by literally just one push of a button. Perfect temp, perfect amount. Press button, close bottle, feed. Its as simple as that. I lived without it for a month, and when I finally got it, it was a game changer, especially for middle of the night feeds when you're half asleep.

u/Cautious_Werewolf_32 Sep 08 '25
I returned my Brezza so fast đ Bought it on the same hype here that "it's so easy and convenient" lol okay, cleaning it takes more time than making the bottles. I just have a water heater/dispenser and scoop the formula into the warm water - it dissolves mostly on it's own if the water is hot and you only need a couple of shakes. To each their own, but I thought the brezza was the most overhyped baby item that I've purchased.

u/doodledandy1273 Sep 08 '25
i loved it. super easy just place the bottle and press a button. all of the people complaining about the constant cleaning... that didnt bother me. we bought an extra funnel and would just wash it in the dishwasher at night. then we would just wipe down the inside when we changed the formula. it was nice lol

We have "just" the warm water dispenser version and I would never give it up. Started out with the usual "hot boiled water" and "cold boiled water" in a insulated bottle and it was super annoying especially at night.
Now it is filling it up once, and then you have the right temperature water all day and night, can dispense it exactly inside of seconds. The step of mixing it and shaking it however was not worth the additional 250 ⏠for us, that part is done inside of 20 seconds anyway. I always wonder how often do you have to clean the dispenser part after it is mixed up? I imagine that's a potential health hazard like it is with automatic coffee machines?

Totally fair question! I think it really depends on your routine and how often you're bottle feeding. For us, the baby brezza formula pro just simplified everything. No measuring, no worrying about the temp, no clumps. Is it necessary? No. But has it made life smoother, especially at midnight with a fussy baby? 100% yes.

as long as baby drinks room temperature milk, the only benefit is quickly making a fresh bottle. thats useful at night, but i think a stash of RTFs by the crib is safer: no concerns about whether the brezza gets the powder:water proportions right, no cleaning.
also cheaper (or at least not more expensive): since baby only needs a small snack at night i can use the cheap 2oz bottles. i use about 6 bottles per week at ~50c per fl ounce, which is ~30-40c more expensive per ounce than powder.* that's a max 80c premium per 2 oz bottle. 80c * 6 bottles/week * 52 weeks = $249.60 for a year.
and easier: a quick but vigorous shake, pop on a nipple, done.
*regular price. it can be much cheaper when amazon has a sale.

We splurged on the Brezza bottle washer, but I didnât trust the dispenser. Itâs so easy to just use an electric kettle to warm water to the perfect temp and then shake, but many people here in the U.S. donât use kettles.Â

Itâs not over 300$ itâs around 200$. The whole point of it is being convenient you donât need to measure the water. You donât need to measure the formula and you can warm if you want. Itâs not necessary to warm. You can just serve it room temperature. The cleaning is really not that difficult and Iâve used it for both of my two babies and itâs super convenient and helpful.

Itâs great when baby wakes up a lot at night for feeding like during the newborn stage. It takes less than 30 seconds to make a bottle and a half asleep, new mom wonât need to worry about the amount of formula she already scoops into a bottle đ.
However, itâs a pain to keep the nozzle clean

u/Lucky_Winner3759 Sep 07 '25
Idk it seems like a total waste of money and time. I canât figure out the convenience of it. But then again, I never warmed bottles for my baby. Thatâs also a waste of time to me lol

It helped me a lot during the newborn phase when I was mixing water and formula with one eye opened. It is pricey but in my humble opinion itâs worth it. If baby suddenly starts screaming because theyâre hungry, the bottle is done in a few seconds, no worrying about mixing. Iâve recommended it to all my friends

I donât know if I would have bought the Formula Pro Advance myself but it was gifted to us. Itâs been NIIIIIIIICE and the wifi option has been a game changer at night to make a bottle quickly. By the time Iâm downstairs, the bottle is ready and made. Definitely not a must have, but itâs been a treat. We bought an extra funnel to switch out so we never run into the issue of having to clean and wait to use either.
The bottle washer thoughâŠnow that thing is life changing. We donât run our dishwasher enough for bottle and I wasnât a fan of them sitting in there with dirty dishes. My poor hands were also not loving the constant washing.

I have twins and freaking love my baby brezza. I donât have to do any prep and cleaning is a breeze. I can make bottles in seconds to the perfect temperature, and it was especially helpful those first few weeks when I was so sleep deprived I could barely see straight.
Is it a necessity? No. But itâs been a life saver for us and Iâm so grateful my mom decided we had to have it (it showed up on my doorstep like a week after I told her I was pregnant with twins đ)

People love it but itâs not necessary. And we didnât really have the space or money for one. We used bottled water at room temp and just made them when she was hungry and it wasnât a big deal. Now we use tap. Our baby also never minded formula being cold. But it totally makes things easier for lots of families so I understand why itâs so beloved!

It never appealed to me because it doesnât sterilise the formula. I also tend to know when my baby is about to kick off for food, so I get a bottle ready before theyâre screaming. Otherwise if I miss the cue then oh well, they have a to wait a moment. It wonât hurt them or me.
Plus weâve had two NICUs warn against them for not measuring properly. Thatâs not a risk Iâm willing to take so that my bottle can be ready in 6 seconds.

u/beckbeck87 Sep 07 '25
Suggesting that other moms are willing to take that risk is quite honestly just a bit offensive. No one is out here trying to harm their babies and I think most are smart enough to test and calibrate the machine to ensure its accuracy and immediate cease use if itâs not.

u/JerkRussell Sep 07 '25
I donât find it offensive at all. The machines have a known risk of not dispensing correctly and considering itâs a machine made purely for convenience I doubt people are testing it as thoroughly as you are. It isnât difficult at all to scoop powdered formula, so it seems ridiculous to rely on a machine that has a reputation for not mixing properly, let alone not sterilising the powder. The OP asked, I answered. Itâs utterly daft to take offense at every opposing view you run across on the internet. No one is personally concerned with what youâre doing. If it works for you, then thatâs amazing. Keep at it and stop chastising other people for expressing their views.

u/Bad_juju29 Sep 07 '25
Not only a reputation, there was a lawsuit against them for that very reason. Also, when you have a nicu baby, nothing is too ridiculous to avoid. Hearing the mourning in those hallways is and was the worst experience of my life. I still consider myself very fortunate to have a thriving baby after our NICU stay.

u/beckbeck87 Sep 07 '25
Is it âknownâ for that or has it just happened to a few people and then became an internet rumor? lol it truly doesnât matter but acting like other moms are out here taking a risk by using a machine is also utterly ridiculous.
Have a good one I guess?2
u/JerkRussell Sep 08 '25
Itâs definitely a known risk and thereâs a class action lawsuit against the machines for not dispensing properly and harming babies, so yeah youâre taking a risk to save yourself from shaking a bottle? Definitely the NICUs telling parents not to use them are just reading internet rumours though. /s

It takes 5-6 seconds to dispense a perfectly measured warm bottle of formula - a lifesaver for us, especially for late night feeds and for family members who help us. Itâs super easy to use (you push a button and it immediately dispenses the ounce amount you want) and itâs also easy to clean. We love it!!!

u/Frosty_Giraffe33 Sep 07 '25
I'm Canadian and it's the convenience. Takes literally 15 seconds to make a perfect bottle. I can hold my newborn and make a bottle w/o putting her down. And it's amazing at 130 am when she wakes up hungry. It's expensive but I think it's so worth it

Itâs literally the best. I would pay twice for it. Being able to hit a button in the middle of the night to have the warm bottle dispensed with no thought is worth its weight in gold.

u/PowPopBang Sep 07 '25
It's not for us, but I see the appeal! It definitely makes it more convenient to feed baby.

My daughter cries and a bottle is ready in 30seconds. No exaggeration, my walk to the kitchen takes longer than bottle prep.

Not to be dramatic, but I want to be buried with my Brezza. Love it so much.

We did measuring and shaking for my middle baby and have a brezza bottle maker for my youngest. Hands down absolutely the best baby item Iâve ever owned. That and the bottle washer. We got them from my parents because we didnât need any furniture or other gear. I wish weâd had these with my first two. 10/10. A+.

I just have 2 funnels so one is always cleaned and drying.
If the ratio is wrong, that's on the parent for not confirming the accuracy of the machine regularly.

u/Junior_Monk5894 Sep 07 '25
Yeah someone gave me one after their baby turned one and between cleaning it and not being sure it dispensed correctly I quickly switched over to the pitcher method. My baby drinks cold or room temp formula with no issues so that helps
