If you wait too long, powder will build-up and change the consistency of the formula (aha....another reason for poor results!). Another bonus...When grandma babysits, there's no measuring, mixing and bottle-heating required - we just tell her to put a bottle under the dispenser and press start. It's basically "formula on demand" (we jokingly refer to it as the baby's Kuerig as it sits next to ours on the counter and works similarly). One thing we make a habit of doing is capping the bottle and giving a gentle shake to ensure the mix is blended - in our quest for the right formula, we've noticed some formula clumps more than others in the bottle, but this is not a result of the machine - it's a result of mixing powder and water. Update Feb 2015...Still working fine for us....Changed the baby's formula type - adjusted the settings...business as usual."
"I found that just by the look of the two comparisons in a dish, the Brezza was dispensing too much formula. The reviews about mold in the water dispenser silicone "straw" are because they left the lid on 24/7 and of course mold will grow in warm humid conditions. I have never seen any mold but I am super paranoid about it, so I leave the top off the water any time that I know there is no chance of anything getting in the water container (like when I'm cooking, etc). So far, no mold EVER, and the water dispenser acts just like a sink fountain when dispensing the water."
"Time saver and kicked up the quality of the bottle milk to a whole level. I never understand why good items always seem to attract the "fake" news. During the 3rd week cleaning I did see a small, very small, amount of mold on the side of the unit where the water tank touches the unit. We had to use a different powder, my error is ordering, which required an adjustment to the selector wheel--no problem."
This unique feature includes a mixing blade that quickly dissolves formula with no clumping, and an adjustable stopper that prohibits the mixing blade from lifting above the surface of the liquid as to keep air introduction to a minimum.

"Formula is good for 24 hours after you mix it if you keep it in the fridge, so you need to know when you made it (although it rarely lasts that long in our house). I would recommend getting two of these, so that you can always have one in use and one being washed (after using this, it will seem like a real pain to make formula bottles the old way, one small scoop at a time)."
"It works well in mixing the formula but you cannot make more than 30oz without leaks (and even that requires mixing slowly and gently)."
"We just fill this bad boy up for the day, pop it in the fridge and when it’s time for a feeding we just warm it up in our bottle warmer for our baby girl. We ended up switching to Similac’s Soy and that one doesn’t foam even if you try!"
"My son is formula fed and I was livid for the first 6 weeks of his life when my Dr. Brown bottles just kept on leaking and leaking."
"My daughter likes cold formula so I usually mix a days worth of formula at a time and this makes it SO much easier!"
"I use this to make formula in batches for my twins."
"I use formula which is very hard to mix (Gerber Good Start Soothe) and have never been able to get the lumps out with a regular pitcher, no matter how much I shake it. I usually mix my grandson's formula in advance for the day, so this pitcher works perfectly."

"I was using the oxo tot bottle cleaner prior to this and found that I wasn’t able to get to the end of the nipple very good (I use the playtex bottle system)."
"I fill my bottles with breast milk exclusively so I need a brush that can clean away the greasy feeling from the fat deposits."
"The nipple brush cleans very well also, you can put the nipple brush inside the bottle brush handle."
"other bottle brushes i have bought have been to wide on top or on the handle but this one is perfect."
"The bristles are shaped to easily clean bottom edges inside the bottle and the nipple brush fits easily and effectively in the nipple to insure clean inner surfaces."
"I LOVE the nipple brush."
"This is the only baby brush that I've bought so I'm biased."

"The older model you can put as much water you want and it would not be an issue, but this sterilizer you have to always check the water because it's going to burn the bottom."
"Great would recommend to anyone."
"Doesn't take much time at all to sterilize products."

"The best feature of this particular brush is the nipple brush that sits so neatly inside the bottom of the main brush."
"The brush bristles are very soft and so I can understand why people are complaining about the brush losing it's fluff."
"I also do not like putting the brush back in its brush holder/base because you literally have to align it perfectly or it won't fit."
"I don't have baby bottles to clean, but I do have jars that I reuse and my other stiff bristle brush just isn't thorough enough."
"This brush has a separate base for the brush which is a plus."
"I can use it for washing bottles and the smaller brush on the opposite end, I can use it to clean around the top of my Instant-pot where the lid attaches."
"You can buy the brush minus the stand for even cheaper and the stand really lasts so I usually just replace the brush."

"In my video review, I show all of the key features of the nipple, how it can interchange with a Medela bottle and even how it compares to a Medela Slow Flow and a Dr. Brown's 2 Pack Natural Flow Preemie Standard Nipple nipple."
"I have religiously loved avents glass bottles for years, but when colic was an issue, we were using our avent bottles in conjunction with the glass version of the Dr. Browns bottles."
"I bought the Philips Avent bottles and nipples for every single stage even before my son was born. I was so worried and almost ready to order the similac nipples again. To my relief, my son loves it and eats super fast with the Level 3 (6+) nipples which i was kinda concerned he might be choked because of the fast flow since he just turned 5 months."
"Wanted to give these a try instead of some of the other nipples we had bought."
"I love the fact that you can get multiple at one time so you aren't having to wash them constantly all day."
"I can't compare to other brands, since I've never used any, but these are as I expected them to be from upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2."
"I ordered these based on the product photo, which matches the skinnier nipple used with the natural flow bottles, but that's not what I received."

With the soft nature of these bottles and their durability I was able to use these (although not the way they were intended - pic attached) from prince lionheart: http://amzn.com/B003JZAUGM. They have worked great for us, perhaps they will help someone else out there looking for handles for these wonderful bottles!"
"I have to formula feed my baby and was on a quest to find the best bottle. So naturally, I started with Dr. Brown's standard bottles. But she was still occasionally having issues and Dr. Brown's bottles are a real pain to clean. After a lot of trial and error, and research, I decided to go with Comotomo. Yes, they may be a little higher priced compared to other brands, but they are worth every penny. If you squeeze/massage bottle milk will gently flow out of nipple. .Dual air vents on nipple work wonders for gassy babies. .Slow Flow nipples do not drip milk when turned upside down. .Soft silicone and round shape make it easier for baby to learn to hold bottle. .Tight fit in diaper bag pockets designed for standard bottles."
"Chances are you are reading this review because you are either 1) Being proactive about finding a bottle for your soon to be arriving baby that you plan to breastfed or 2) Absolutely desperate to find a bottle that your breastfed baby will actually take. I worked in a daycare center years before I got pregnant, and though I wasn't working in the infant rooms themselves, it was so utterly heart-wrenching to hear some of those newly enrolled babies screaming and crying hysterically since they refused to take a bottle."

"I can't say how well the absorbent lining worked, because none of what I was carrying suffered breakage."
"The bags themselves are lined with a cheesecloth type material that is supposed to soak up spills in case the bottle breaks."
"These are GREAT!"
"though i've never had a bottle break in my suitcase so can't comment on that but the material seems to work well in absorbency (tried a bit out on the old busted bag stuffing.)."
