If the premium/luxury models can't dispense formula properly I highly doubt some China cheapie version can do it. Making bottles is very easy and does not need outsourced to a machine.

My Stanley thermos took care of my boy and it will do the same for my twin girls..

We just put a couple scoops in some dry bottles at night and mix hot and cold water to taste in a thermos.

It's perfect.

I second this method. I have a hot water boiler that keeps my water set to a specific temp at all times and will just use that for formula. I like to do the hotshot method, so I don’t have to wait for the bottle to cool. (An ounce or two of hot water to sterilize the formula and the rest room temp. Just be sure to pre measure the water amount)

I would like to know more about this how will yu get time to mix the bottle when your baby need milk immediately? Coz hypoallergenic formula take long time to mix that’s my concern

u/DumbbellDiva92 Mar 22 '26

What do you mean hypoallergenic formula takes a long time to mix? I’ve never heard of it having any different instructions than normal? The only one I’ve heard can require extra waiting time is thickened formula (supposed to let it sit for a few minutes after mixing, I think?). But then the same would apply whether you are using a formula machine or not.

If the instructions mention something about using very hot water, then that’s to sterilize the formula powder, and again this machine would not be doing that anyway.

A pic of the instructions on the can and formula name would be helpful here.

u/moldyzomby Mar 22 '26

Hypoallergenic formula ABSOLUTELY DOES take longer to mix in with room temperature water. It clumps a ton and it helps for the water to be slightly warm for it all to dissolve. It was actually really annoying, I’m glad we didn’t have to stick with Nutramigen.

u/DumbbellDiva92 Mar 22 '26

Ooh if it’s a matter of water temperature, I feel like a maybe a warm water dispenser would be a good idea for OP? I’d much prefer that personally over relying on a machine to measure the powder. Assuming they don’t want to/can’t feed baby refrigerator cold bottles (presumably pitcher method would solve the issue, and then you only need to deal with warming the water once a day?).

u/Waaterfight Mar 23 '26

I boil water in a teapot and mix it with room temp water until it's hot enough in a thermos. It lasts most of the night. Just gotta refresh it in the morning with a little more boiled water.

u/confake Mar 22 '26

I got a bottle warmer that has a setting where you can keep a bottle with water at the right temperature until you need it.

Before I sleep, I fill three bottles with water, with one of them in the warmer. When it is time for night feeds, I just take the warmed bottle and put formula powder in it, then place another bottle in the warmer for the next feed. Takes less than a minute.

Stay far far away from this. I had a terrible experience with the Brezza formula machine. Just use the pitcher method if you’re trying to save time

u/ForeverAnonymous260 Mar 22 '26

I have a baby brezza formula maker but an switching to the pitcher method. It’s honestly so much easier.

u/princessvintage Mar 22 '26

I like my tea kettle and Dr brown pitcher.

u/Aurora_96 Mar 22 '26

I've always warned and will keep warning about these machines. If you don't maintain/clean them well, your child may get sick. I've worked in diagnostics and had to analyze a baby's material who got a brain infection, likely from fungus in the brezza.

u/Many_Fudge544 Mar 22 '26

Use a kettle and a Rapid Cool to make bottles. They are so fast and make the bottle to the right temp. Just have a couple of the go and wash with hot soapy water and then keep them in sterile water until you need again. We had a machine and it was more hassle!

2

u/hungrypanda23 Mar 22 '26

We ended up getting a formula water kettle type thing that would boil the water then cool it down to stay at 105 degrees (temp is adjustable) after concerns about the Baby Brezza not dispensing properly. Loved that thing. Looks like they also make warm water dispensers now - so like the Brezza but without the addition of the powder.

u/onxy2025 Mar 22 '26

I have the Dr brown’s water dispenser at my house and my parents. We absolutely love it! Bottle in under a minute

u/Efficient-Recipe-642 Mar 22 '26

How to use it ? Coz alimentum takes time to dissolve. How do yu mix the formula the moment baby needs the bottle ?

5

u/onxy2025 Mar 22 '26

Dispense the amount of water you need, scoop, mix, done. If it takes longer to dissolve a machine isn’t going to do it any different. Also if you’re waiting until it’s meltdown of baby needing a bottle, I fear you’ve waited too long to feed them

1

u/greedymoonlight Mar 23 '26

You just make the bottle, sorry but babies cry a lot, it’s unavoidable 100% of the time and very unrealistic to think you can respond to their every need within nanoseconds to avoid crying

u/ChickChickChicken12 Mar 22 '26

I use a MomCozy water warmer that keeps the water warm 24/7, and then I scoop the formula myself!

Faster & easier than a warmer, and I know my baby is getting the right amount!

u/Efficient-Recipe-642 Mar 22 '26

Can we mix the formula immediately? Coz my baby is not even waiting for minute.i don’t wanna keep him cry that’s my main concern

6

u/princessvintage Mar 22 '26

Babies cry and that’s ok.

1

u/ChickChickChicken12 Mar 26 '26

Yes! Mix as soon as you pour the water

1

u/dooropen3inches Mar 22 '26

This is what we do too.

u/Darkocean89 Mar 23 '26

It has been known to not properly do formula and water and baby’s end up sick because it’s not the right mixture

2

u/No_Decision845 Mar 23 '26

I don’t have experience with that specific one, but we use the baby brezza formula maker and it’s been good for us. No issues as long as we follow the setup properly and keep everything clean and dry. They also go on sale from time to time on their website, so it’s worth keeping an eye out if you’re thinking about getting one.

u/Kind_Brush7972 Mar 22 '26

How much is it? I love my baby brezza one but I know it’s pricey

1

u/Efficient-Recipe-642 Mar 22 '26

It’s 200$

u/BabyCowGT Mar 22 '26

Baby Brezza is basically the same price and (though not always perfect) at least a known brand and available in store. Walmart's marketplace is a lot like Amazon, you wind up with grey area and questionable sellers. 

ETA: none of the reviews of that one on Amazon are people who bought it themselves. It's all reviews through the Vine program (which is real people, I'm also in that program, but a lot of people just 5 star every product they get) who got the product for free. So take that how you will.

u/Efficient-Recipe-642 Mar 22 '26

I saw some has mixed reviews about baby breeza that formula powder clogs is that true ?

6

u/BabyCowGT Mar 22 '26

We were religious about cleaning it on time and had multiple funnels so we could let them get COMPLETELY dry before use and never had an issue 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk about other people, I cannot speak to their experiences and cleaning routines. However, that issue will probably still occur in this machine, it's a nearly identical design and funnel system.

u/GrassStartersSuck Mar 22 '26

I think most people who have issues with the Brezza is user error

u/alyssaa767 Mar 22 '26

100% this comment. Anecdotally, I have yet to come across a Brezza post on reddit that wasn’t, in large part, a result of human error. We clean and descale monthly, re-assemble and re-calibrate each time. Still working perfectly 9 months later with absolutely no issues. But I would also 100% not trust a random brand over a reputable one like Brezza

1

u/GrassStartersSuck Mar 22 '26

Exactly. It’s also super easy to tell if the dispensing is off - I know the line on my bottle when I press 180 MLs. I don’t understand how you could go months without noticing

1

u/longtimelurker927 Mar 22 '26

It depends on the formula. Bobbie gentle clogged mine so when we changed the funnel we had to be super diligent about wiping down the opening that drops the formula into the funnel.

On kendamil goat after trying bobbie whole milk and neither clog the opening like the Bobbie gentle did.

u/Efficient-Recipe-642 Mar 22 '26

We are using alimentum

u/Efficient-Recipe-642 Mar 22 '26

Oh yeah. This is genuine concern of a mom who wants to feed the baby immediately who can’t even wait for 2 min until bottle gets warmed up.so better yu can keep your thoughts with yourself.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '26

If you need a warm bottle, use a warm water dispenser

1

u/princessvintage Mar 22 '26

I have premade bottles for emergencies like if he’s absolutely starving but honestly I make it and then give him one premade while I stick some of the newly made stuff in the freezer. Having premade helps me be flexible with his schedule and waste less formula.

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '26

I must have an easy baby because she loves her room temp bottles. Good luck with your babies kureg machine. I will not.

I stopped using another brand but similar formula dispenser after a few days. My reasons are: You’re not supposed to reuse baby bottles without washing them after every use. With the formula dispenser, the funnel where the milk is dispensed isn’t washed after every feed. It keeps being used again and again — sometimes until the end of the day, and some people might even wait a week before washing it. To me, it feels like using the same bottle over and over again without washing it. That’s just my thoughts.
