Love This Item!

This is such a helpful tool to have with a baby. We went through 2 other brands before finding this one and it is the best. It dispenses very easily and cleanly (big deal with formula), and it is pretty easy to clean. There may be some formula you need to scrub out with a bottle brush or let soak in hot, soapy water, but this is the only one I have found that keeps the top secure as you shake it into the bottle and doesn't spill anywhere thanks to the raised opening. You just need a little shimmy and not a violent shake to get the formula in the bottle. We have one for home and one for the diaper bag - definitely recommend!

FORMULA MOM’S FAVE

My big boy is formula fed, and during those late night feedings with one eye open this makes my life so much easier. It goes straight into his MAM bottles without a mess. It is super easy to clean, and much better than the other formula holder I have. For instance, the other one takes forever to release the powder and barely gets it all out. The other night I missed the bottle top bevacuee I am trying so hard to get the powder into the bottle without making too much noise and ended up getting formula powder on the baby’s face. (Not my proudest moment) This Dr. Browns takes a second to put into the bottle because of the wide mouth on it.

Liking my purchase

Holds a maximum of 8 scoops of the powder I use in each well. There's 3 wells in this container. Easy to use, seems durable so far as I pack it around in the diaper bag. When ready to use, I've learned to hold it over the bottle and just wiggle it while keeping it tight over the bottle rim and qait for the powder to all shake loose into the bottle. If you try to tap it out the powder gets all over. The lid takes 2 hands to turn around the bottom in order to line the hole up with the next well you need to express from.

Durable

Bought for when my baby has to go to the sitters. We were having issues with them using too much formula per bottle. Does it’s job. Very durable and the lid stays on very tight. Almost a little too tight because it’s a bit hard to turn it to each compartment and also kind of hard to take off but definitely does it job and I’d rather have a lid that’s too tight instead of loose and have a diaper bag full of formula! Wish I didn’t have to buy 3 because we don’t need that many but I could definitely see this being used for the gym once I start going back. Maybe for protein powders, supplements etc. also might be good for baby snacks!

Very handy gizmo for pre-measuring dry formula

We now have pink and blue versions of this handy little gadget. It's basically a clear (BPA-free) plastic container with 3 subdivisions and a lid. Each subdivision can hold solid undissolved formula for the equivalent of a 9 fluid ounces (ie, 4.5 scoops of most common brands). The cap fits tightly enough that formula loaded into one subdivision will stay there. If you have some water pre-measured in bottles, you can use this gizmo to add the appropriate amount of dry powdered formula to the bottle just before you need it. The spout is the perfect size for most infant bottles, including Dr. Brown's, which are notoriously narrow. What's the advantage of that, I hear you ask? No need to refrigerate anything at any time, which means no messing around with ice-packs. There's also no need to pre-warm the formula before feeding if your little one will tolerate room-temperature formula. The formula dispenser adds a bit of bulk, but removes all the stress about whether a pre-made bottle is safe to use or not. We love ours. A small side note: you can easily mark the outside of each subdivision using a wax pencil (Sharpie makes one, which they call a "china pencil"). For us, that means we can add different quantities of formula in each subdivision. For instance, we sometimes load enough formula for 2oz, 4oz, and 6oz in the different subdivisions, which means we can do 2 x 6 oz feedings, or a 4 and a 6, or even a 4 and an 8.

does not leak

i had the same product from a different company and the formula would mix between the 3 sections. with this one, the top snaps on tightly and there is no mixing. bec of this, you have to take the top off and snap it back on to pour the formula out of a different section then used previously. but thats better then not knowing how much formula your actually getting in the bottle. this one also allows all the formula to pour out easily and completely.

Life saver!!! I have 2 I not ...

Life saver!!! I have 2 I not only use them for travel but also to prep bottles at night. I can just dump into a pre-poured bottle with water and shake not worrying about measuring etc when I am half asleep. I have tried other ones but this one is easier to shake all the formula out!

Necessary for Parents on the Go

This is a must have for any new mom! I purchased this for my first child and am still using it for my second. Of course this is great for formula fed babies but I found it to be a life saver even when my babies were bottle fed breast milk. I would always make sure I had this in my diaper bag for emergencies when we would go out. Sometimes baby would chug down a bottle that we would be out of breastmilk. However I would whip this formula dispenser out and have fresh formula milk on hand for a hungry baby and not have to make the journey home with a crying, starving baby. In my opinion this formula dispenser is perfect for traveling, easy to clean, and easy to use. I throw it in the top rack dishwasher to clean.

Simple, Sturdy, Efficient

We just had Baby #4, so I've had several various brands of formula dispensers in my 10 years of Mom-ing. We are constantly on-the-go with the older kids' school and activities, so a quick way to make a bottle on the fly is so necessary. The Dr. Brown's formula dispenser is perfect -- it has all of my favorite features. First, it has two pieces that are safely cleaned/sterilized on the top-rack of the dishwasher. Second, it is BPA free and Made in the USA. Third, the lid snaps on tightly so there is little leakage of formula from the spout and/or between the three sections. From the manufacturer: "The spout top can be inverted to function like a funnel when pouring formula into the caddy, and the pour spout fits the neck of any size baby bottle for no‐mess pours." I use the Playtex Drop-In system, so this isn't a huge issue for me, but a neat feature if you are using narrow-rimmed bottles. I also like that the cap is sturdy -- it doesn't flap around and obstruct the formula from pouring out. I've included a picture of the stiff cap, and a photo of the dispenser with enough powder for a 4oz bottle on the left compared to an 8oz bottle on the right. I also have the Munchkin Formula Dispenser Combo Pack, Colors May Vary and while I do love the single/individual dispenser in that pack, I had more issues with the formula mixing from one section to the next. Also, the Munchkin one cannot be sterilized via boiling or in the dishwasher.

A Must Buy !

This has been the perfect solution for travel and every day use. At night I portion formula bottles and bring bottled water to the bedroom with clean bottles so I don't have to make multiple trips downstairs to the kitchen in the middle of then night. I love this little item. It's better than hauling a big tub of formula everywhere. This way I can portion formula and have the amount ready to go when my hangry baby wakes up. (She's not a patient one) This is way better than scrambling with the scoop at 3:00am. For around $5 you can't beat it. The plastic is durable and I have had no issue keeping the cap on tight when needed, but able to open it up easily at any time. A must buy for parents! I am currently using Playtex and Dr Brown bottles and the hole is the perfect size for either bottles. No mess.
