Please forgive a potential misjudgement on my part but I believed the concept of 'Hot Uk Deals' to be a platform on which to share good deals you have found with others so as to be helpful and save people money. So please see why I am struggling to understand why you even exist on here. This is not a platform for some 'I know best' over opinionated, judgemental idiot to attempt to force their beliefs onto everyone else. If this is your preference then fine, each to their own, but no need to try to nastily force it upon everyone else. Lets just remember the purpose of this site and the fact that this deal has saved people who want it money, the heat it has been given proves just that. You clearly don't want it so lets just look upon it as you have saved even more money and leave it at that because short of producing your own 'breast is best' fan club I don't know where else you can go with your opinions

Wow, you really are a spanner of the highest order. Less than 1% of women find it challenging?! Whose backside did you pull that made up statistic from?!
Trying to say that 99% of Mum's are just too lazy to breast feed their child because of convenience is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. What can be more convenient than having two food makers strapped to your chest that don't require boiling kettles and cooling bottles and messing about measuring formula?
And I suppose all these breastfeeding support groups are just for lazy Mums also, and not because large numbers of women struggle with breastfeeding.
You spout the most ill informed drivel I've ever read on the internet and that takes some doing.
They work perfectly with the tommee tippee prep machine. And so much cheaper

NHS are required to publish the most extreme information to avoid compensation claims. If your child is not premature or otherwise at a sensitive disposition you do not need to follow their extreme guidelines. Make bottles sterile and keep no longer than 18 hours at your lowest fridge setting. For bottles out of the house use cartons only. Happy for people to fall for these gimmicks and any other NCT baby led rubbish. What an embarrassment of a generation we are becoming.

I should have added no 4 to my previous post:
4) Try to breast feed if you can, but don't beat yourself up about it if you can't.
Without wanting to get into an argument, clearly the vast majority of women can breast feed. Only a very small minority will be unable to breast feed for biological reasons. Our species would never have survived were that not the case and nor would the majority of the worlds population where bottle feeding is not a viable option.
The evidence points to breast feeding being the best option. There's a big push on breastfeeding and some of the midwives/health care professionals are extremely zealous in promoting it. But equally over the past few decades most people have bottle fed in this country and the consequences haven't been as dire as the anti bottle feeding propaganda machine would suggest.
IMO it's fear and lack of experience in the general population that leads to people thinking they can't breastfeed. You know what they've taken with a bottle. With breastfeeding you're never sure. And if your mother/friends/midwife didn't breast feed you have no resource to help reassure you and explain everything is working as it should. Thats then further compounded by the notion its a common ailment that one can't breastfeed.
Which is why I posted this. It really is very rare that you can't breastfeed for biological reasons or due to medication (as your doctor will be extremely careful about what he/she prescribes and tell you if you really must take something that precludes breast feeding). If you really want to breast feed, all you require is perseverance and patience.
But if you can't its not the end of the world. You're not a terrible parent. Its far more important for your childs health that you bring them up with a healthy diet (avoid introducing junk food and sweet drinks) and habits (encourage them to exercise throughout their childhood). And its far more important for their cognitive development that you spend time interacting with them and encourage them to explore/expand their abilities.
Unfortunately although I'm only 18 months in, I can already see good intentions are easy, putting them to practice is hard. As they tend to want to do as you do, rather then as you say. My little one doesnt really like sweet drinks (water and milk only, must take after her mother), but she's figured out Dad loves San Pellegrino so I have to pour it in a glass or she'll go for the can :/

Utter tosh.
Some mothers are on medication, some have infections, some are unable to produce sufficient milk etc., there are so many reasons that women are unable to breastfeed.
My friend was advised by the paediatrician that they supplement her newborn's breastfeeding with formula feeds twice a day as the reason the baby was underweight was due to my friend being unable to supply enough milk. Thankfully the little one is now putting on weight.
Stop being so judgemental, what one person feels is right for their baby, themselves and their family unit if absolutely none of your business.
I'm absolutely pre-breastfeeding, but cannot abide judgemental people who make other people feel bad.

That comment is also INCORRECT! My partner is unable to breastfeed due to the medication that she is on. And I'm sure there is more than 1% of women that are also affected in this way. However, if she want on the medication she would have breastfed for the first couple of months if nothing else.

Used it for our first. Second due January. Best piece of baby gear you can buy. Don't know how anyone can do without it. Breast feeding all well and good but after seeing this in action and watching our baby sleep well at night etc I can only but recommend this.
And TBH even a 100 quid it's worth it. So when you buy this at 45 make sure you pull on a wooly mask, great price

I guess it's better to dramatically alter a woman's life, leading to potential depression all in aid of breastfeeding. Our baby is amazing, he has been perfect prepped the whole way. If you were breastfed and have these ignorant opinions then perhaps it's not always best, I'm proud of my wife for making a courageous decision in the face of judgemental people like you.

From a future first time dad's point of view, I think this machine is a great idea, helping me get more involved in the feeding of my little one AND ensuring I get it right in terms of making the formula at 3am, with 1 eye just about open, looking and feeling like a zombie. Thanks OP!

27 Aug 163#49
My wife can breastfeed and has done for 6 months before we started using this machine.
She stopped not because she was looking for excuses or because she couldn't be bothered but because we agreed as mature adults that it was time for her to begin to get her life back.
Our little lad now happily has formula which I can prepare ultra quick with this machine whilst his mummy has a sleep through the night for the first time in 8 months, can go to the shops without worrying whether the 8pz she pumped (which took her 45mins) will be enough to let her leave her own home for an hour or can see her friends for a coffee without having a baby by her side in the cafe.
I hate feeling I have to justify this machine but every parenting situation is different and we've found this a godsend. Get off your high horse and go troll somewhere else.

27 Aug 162#46
So this is lazyness because it reduces the effort required on behalf of the parent(s).....when you previously posted a deal for an ELECTRIC breast pump is that not (by your reasoning) also a lazy parent's get-out avoiding having to manually pump or feed baby directly on demand? (That's not my point of view by the way, I say each to their own, I'm just trying to understand the judgemental thought process behind this)!
Interesting that you also state that "99% of mothers are failing to meet the most basic and minimum recommendations on infant feeding", and yet somehow (against the odds, in the face of adversity with all this horrifically selfish bad parenting) these babies survive. If the only problem my son has by the time he grows up is that he wasn't breast fed, I'll consider him one of the incredibly fortunate ones when there are A) So many other more serious, hazardous and compelling problems to contend with in life and B) So many blinkered, self-righteous individuals just trying to drag others down.
I do feel bad that I can't breastfeed our son and have to use formula, but that's just something the (more than 1%) have to live with. At least I can take some solace in the knowledge that I can (hopefully) teach him to be open minded, compassionate and considerate of others (which SOME breastfeeding parents clearly aren't capable of themselves).

Sadly not every woman can breastfeed. no need at all for people to suggest they are failing as a mother due to having to use formula and/or prep machines.
disgusting attitudes from some people in here.
Satele to MrDB
27 Aug 16#45
Wrong. All women can breastfeed. There are a tiny (less than 1%) proportion of mothers who may find it challenging, but there is no documented evidence of mothers simply being 'unable to breastfeed' (i.e. unable to lactate).
It's common excuse - fascinating how many people claim to be affected by it - but it's simply not true. What is true is that many find it inconvenient, or simply too much effort. With products like this machine, and attitudes like those prevalent on this post, it's little wonder that only 1% of mothers are breastfeeding at 6 months in the UK.
That's 99% of mothers who are failing to meet the most basic and minimum recommendations on infant feeding.

Is the water you use filtered? And btw powdered baby milk only keeps for 2 hours once combined with water. Rendering your comment void
rossysaurus to sawsa
26 Aug 162#26
You have completely missed the point of heating bottles. It's not so the baby has a nice warm drink. The boiling water is to sterilise the powder. Microwaving the bottle to drinking temperature doesn't sterilise anything and making them in advance gives plenty of time for bacteria to build up in the milk. Young babies do not have a fully functioning immune system and a slight stomach upset in humans caused by common bacteria could prove fatal to a baby.
That is exactly how the perfect prep works, this just simplifies the process so if you forget to put boiled water in the fridge or put too much boiling water in the bottle you don't feed your baby something unsafe or wasting formula. The amount of times I made a full bottle of boiling water at 3am.....

Oh well if university studies show it then it must be true then. As for your comments basically calling all mothers who formula feed, whether to breast or bottle feed is a personal choice made by a mother for her child and has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else. No one has the the right to pass judgement on the way a mother chooses to feed her baby, it's both patronising and quite frankly none of anyone elses business
nb84
26 Aug 16#39
The first point is probably the truest thing ever. No one has experienced true tiredness until they have become a parent. This is our second so having made it successfully through all the sleepless nights we've decided to do it all again lol. Have to admit we haven't bought nearly as much stuff this time round however i look back and think i would have given my right arm to have had this machine first time round
Satele
26 Aug 161#38
University studies have shown that these may not kill all bacteria present. I stand by my comment. It is a cynical product, developed by a multi-billion dollar industry and aimed and feeding crap formula to babies that should be fed by their mothers. It's just another tool to promote formula feeding, aimed at those who would rather spend their lives doing things other than parenting the very babies they brought into the world.
Oh, and it takes all of 3 minutes to make a bottle of formula in those extremely rare cases where a mother genuinely can not produce milk for their babies. There is absolutely no need for this inferior product at all, other than laziness.

Congratulations. We're 18 months in with our first so I thought I'd impart three bits of advice (in order of importance):
1) Sleep. Get lots of it. Get your fill of lie-ins, while you can.
2) Get your fill of evenings out together now. Eat, drink (well the hubbies can :smile:) and be merry.
3) Resist the urge to buy everything people recommend. Wether that be friends, other soon to be parents, midwives, adverts, magazines, etc. You won't use half of it, you may get some items as gifts anyway and unless you live in the sticks you can pickup the few items you actually need when the time comes. All you definitely need is Nappies, wipes, some clothes, car seat, push chair, cot. Anything else you find you need, will give you a good reason to get out and give the little one and you some fresh air.
I say this as a Dad with a house full of crap we didn't end up using :/ Including this machine as the Mrs breast fed in the end.
Oh and try to enjoy it, despite the lack of sleep. Before you know it you'll be missing those early months when all he/she wanted to do is lay on your chest for hours on end.

I'm prepared to get flamed for suggesting this but can you not just make up a bottle like this:
Add half required volume boiling water to bottle
Add all powder
Mix
Add remaining half cold boiled water (from fridge) if below 6 months or half tap water if over 6 months.
Feed ready immediately at the right temp (adjust proportions of boiling:cold water to get desired temp)...I assume this is how the perfect prep works but cannot see why you'd need a machine.
I can get a bottle ready in 1 or 2 mins rather than waiting for 10 for boiling water to cool under a running tap.

26 Aug 16#23
Although I see your point, I myself have dismissed this product when at a higher price, I have to admit that there seem to be a lot of benefits to this machine, for me the main benefit will be not having to measure out the water whilst half (if not virtually fully) asleep at 3am. This is a task that puts a parent under pressure, I remember from my first child. I can still remember the pressure building as my little boy screamed louder for his bottle. Oh how I am looking forward to just pressing a button and regaining peace just a little bit sooner.
Purchased these for my daughter to try in hers,she hasn't used them yet but a comment in a review said they work fine.

Fabulous invention picked up one recently for our 3rd born, bottles made in seconds! We had a tip from a parenting website that Wilko's own brand universal water filters fit these prep machines and are a fraction of the cost of Tommy Tippee one's..
This is a great price for the machine, however, ours broke after 2 months so we improvised . We used a breville hot cup to quickly boil the water, and kept a flask of cooled, boiled water on hand. With a little experimenting, you can figure out the ratio of hot to cold water and consistently get the same temperature milk.
It's just as fast as the perfect prep machine, you don't need filters and you can use the hot cup for your hot drinks as well!

I say this as a Dad with a house full of crap we didn't end up using :/ Including this machine as the Mrs breast fed in the end.
Oh and try to enjoy it, despite the lack of sleep. Before you know it you'll be missing those early months when all he/she wanted to do is lay on your chest for hours on end.
We've got twins due at the end of January and I'm not sure how we're going to cope... tempted to get 2!
Add half required volume boiling water to bottle
Add all powder
Mix
Add remaining half cold boiled water (from fridge) if below 6 months or half tap water if over 6 months.
Feed ready immediately at the right temp (adjust proportions of boiling:cold water to get desired temp)...I assume this is how the perfect prep works but cannot see why you'd need a machine.
I can get a bottle ready in 1 or 2 mins rather than waiting for 10 for boiling water to cool under a running tap.
Purchased these for my daughter to try in hers,she hasn't used them yet but a comment in a review said they work fine.
Can purchase a single 1 for £2.00

It's just as fast as the perfect prep machine, you don't need filters and you can use the hot cup for your hot drinks as well!
Worth remembering that you'll spend an extra £25 by the time you've bought the filters (assuming that you use it for about a year). Still great tho. :smiley:
Brilliant bit of kit.
Available in White or Black for £69.99 (therefore £54.99 with code). But I quite like the red this time round.
