​Uhh you know you're supposed to put the milk powder in water that's over 70 degrees right? It kills any bacteria that could be in the milk powder.

It's true that you do not need be a genius to make a bottle up however if you're making your bottles of formula milk in less than one minute you are doing it wrong.

One litre of water should be boiled and then left for 30 minutes so that it cools to around 70 degrees Celsius. It should then be added to the formula to kill any bacteria contained within the powder. The formula milk will be too hot for baby still so will need to either be left for longer or cooled by running cold water on the bottle.

As my wife was unable to breastfeed, we found the perfect prep machine to be amazing. In the early days when baby is still feeding on demand, and especially at night when they wake for feeds and you have no time to do anything in advance, waiting 30 minutes whilst you have baby crying for milk seems like a lifetime. Watching them get upset because they do not understand that they to have to wait is unbearable. In my mind, if you bottle feed your baby then £39 to prevent what could equate to hours of crying a day whilst waiting for boiling water to cool is money well spent.

Admittedly it could become less useful once baby is on a routine and you can plan ahead with making bottles however our baby is now nearly seven months old and we are still using the prep machine whilst she transitions on to solids. It probably does take a couple of minutes to make a bottle with the prep machine but then you can safely know that any bacteria in the powder has been killed when the powder is added to the initial shot of hot water it produces. You can also count on the formula milk being a suitable drinking temperature, although should always check this, as further cooler water is then added after the powder has been added to the initial shot.

Of course, you could ignore the NHS guidelines on boiling a litre of water and leaving it for 30 minutes to make a bottle faster but when your little one is so precious why run the risk of upsetting their delicate insides?

​Thank god someone else said it. It seems no one knows how to make a bottle or follows the instructions on the powder either!

Before anyone says it, yes there are no reported epidemics of babies dying from bacteria growth in milk BUT health today is about mitigating the accumulations of small risks (e.g. with cars it's air bags, belts, indicators, ESP, traction control, power steering, etc ,etc).

Cracking price heat added but I don't get it.

We have 8 kids and never have I felt the need to buy a machine to make my bottles for me. It takes 2 minutes to make a bottle up if that. Why are there so many company's out there trying to make money on parents like this. Chances are if you have one it was probably gifted, if you went out and brought it yourself , why?.

Sorry rant over, just don't see the need. I would rather keep the dosh in my pocket than fork out for one of these & make them myself.

Don't have to be a genius to make a bottle though. You pop the bolingbwater in a bottle and by the time baby is ready for the next feed you add milk. Simple . In fact I retract my 2 minutes, and say under 1 minute, how long do these take? Never used one so don't have a clue.

Someone with 8 might question why you have none, big family, big love, happy working family. Not sure what your point is.

Who care's...

Simple fact is it's cheap, considering the normal price.. have some heat op. :smile:

Where did I say I have none?
