Dr. Brown's925 Milchpulver, Milchkännchen

No more banging around in the middle of the night to panic mix a bottle after being rudely awoken by baby, no more stressing about bottles piling up because there's no formula ready and you need them for mixing, and no more need to wait for the bubbles to go away before feeding baby, because past you made a day's worth of formula and put it in the fridge before bed.AMAZING. My quality of life is so much better and this is vastly easier. Baby thankfully takes cold formula straight from the fridge and I can easily pour myself a bottle when needed. It's very easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean. I wash daily with hot soapy water and occasionally boil in hot water for a couple minutes. I'm on pitcher #2 now since I just had another baby. Buy it, you won't regret it!

Don't spend money on the machine--this works better!

Making a pitcher of formula instead of one bottle at a time, is an amazing timesaver, and helps our baby with more consistent mix, less gas, less spit up, and easy to clean. Best formula purchase we made.

First off - we LOVE this pitcher and use it daily. With just a few plunges (maybe 10?), it mixes powdered formula into water with ease and no clumps. I'd like the markings to be printed on like they are on Dr. Brown's bottles, as they are super hard to see with them just being embossed in the clear plastic. Also, the markings go up to 32 oz, which is pretty pointless. You can't mix more than 28 oz without it overflowing. Those are my only two gripes! Below is a bit of a rant with an important point to keep in mind when using this pitcher - or any other bulk mixing method - for making formula.I'm a new mom. I track how much my kid eats on a daily basis. My pediatrician asks how much he is eating, so I'm actually reporting this information... it's not just for my own reference. Manufacturers (Similac, Enfamil) say to mix a bottle, add the amount of water you want to mix (e.g., 6 oz) and one scoop per every 2 oz. So, you're starting with 6 oz water and 3 scoops of formula. Mix this all together to make a 6 oz bottle. But, you get about 7 oz of liquid once it's all mixed in. So, to me, this is a 7 oz bottle because my kid is taking in 7 oz of liquid. I update my little app to show 7 oz at whatever time. But, apparently, it's only "6 oz" of formula (per the manufacturer). So, what are they eating? 6 oz or 7 oz? I HAVE NO IDEA. For little tummies, an extra ounce makes a big difference! So, fine. If I mix one bottle at a time and shake it in the bottle... I know that 6 oz water + 3 scoops is "6 oz" for my kid. Do this 5 times a day and they get 30 oz total. BUT if I use the mixing pitcher to mix 30 oz (first, I'd have to split it into 2 batches so it would fit - no big deal), I'm using 30 oz water, 15 scoops of formula and I probably end up with about 35 oz of liquid that can be poured into bottles when I'm done mixing. So, if I'm making 6 oz bottles, I'm going to fill to the 6 oz line in the bottle... right? Well, then I have 5 oz of mixed liquid left over, and my kid isn't getting as much water or powder as if they would had I mixed it in the bottle. Do I do some sort of intense math calculation to figure out how many oz I need to pour into the bottle so I can say it's "6 oz"? I'm 100% opposed to pouring 7 oz bottles and calling it "6 oz." 7 oz is not 6 oz... it's 7 oz! This is a ridiculous issue that could easily be resolved by the formula manufacturers. Why they have not made a smaller scoop and changed their mixing instructions to eliminate this issue is beyond me. I'm a numbers person (also a reasonable human being) and this has stressed me out to no end.Anyway, I ranted a bit, but wanted to include this because if you're a first-time parent or new to formula feeding, it's important to know that there is not a clear "right way" to use this pitcher. We have decided to mix according to the manufacturer's instructions, pour into bottles at the level we want to be feeding our kids, and call it a day. They are growing perfectly and seem to be happy and content. I should note that we're NOT feeding our kids the minimum recommended for their age (24 oz). If we were, I'd be a little more wary of this approach. Obviously you need to use the parental instincts to do what's right for your kids. If they seem hungry, too full, dehydrated, etc. adjustments should be made. Just be aware that 6 oz mixed in a Dr. Brown's bottle IS NOT THE SAME as 6 oz poured into a Dr. Brown's bottle from a Dr. Brown's mixing pitcher. I really hope I'm just a nutjob and most people don't overthink this as much as I have. :)Buy the pitcher. You'll be glad you did.

Makes life so much easier!
