[@alexsalazar3808]

Fathercraft This is all such helpful information! Thank you so much! My question is, after 4 dispenses would I have to throughly clean the funnel with soap and water or could I just give it a quick rinse to use again right after?

[@dianamauthe7082]

We have an 11 month old baby girl, she’s been formula fed since week 3. There is NO WAY we would have made it without this machine!! It is worth every penny and I would be willing to pay double its price! Specially those nights when she was still eating every 2-3 hours around the clock! It’s almost time for her to switch to regular milk and I’m having mixed feelings departing from my machine and it’s convenience 😢

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Diana - I totally agree. This thing was a godsend when Calvin was a newborn.

[@danielaenriquez194]

My baby is now 2 months🥰 and I’ve been wondering if buying Baby Brezza was worth it or not. After this video i know for sure I want it. I will definitely sign up for the contest to see if I get lucky! If not, I will be getting my own for my little one! Thank you for the making it easier to understand!!

[@lyonellacook8003]

Mommy of twins!!!! Thank you! Made it so simple. Excited to use this machine...and get back to sleep!

[@Fathercraft]

We’re excited for you!

[@9238529]

Im a dad of a newborn and this machine is AMAZING!!!!

[@mojo1791]

I need this. Gonna put it on registry. I feel I've been living under a rock.

[@Fathercraft]

Hahaha! No need to feel that way ... we didn't know about it for our first kids either. But, if you're bottle feeding: gamechanger.

[@nickb2792]

Having absolutely no experience with powdered formula... would you say that there are different consistencies between brands? Do some mix better than others? Does the machine help mitigate these differences?

[@Fathercraft]

Hey Nick, great question. There are differences in consistency and how fine the grains are ... so, Formula Pro Adcanced has different settings for different brands of formula that help make sure it mixes well. You find your formula in the guide and use the buttons on the Brezza to set the machine to the right setting. Best, Paul

[@GreciasWorld]

I’m going to buy this because it literally makes me like 4 mins to prepare a bottle 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@aishahk7878]

First time mom expecting twins next month! This would be so helpful! Have there been any clumping problems??

[@daddyplus7732]

I can tell this thing has been a saving grace for my family and our twins. Just make sure you clean it when needed and no issues at all! 🏆📽😉✊

[@joshuachu123]

Wow we need this in our life. Looks like its a great product

[@dumbblone36]

Do we have to de-scale the machine periodically like I need to with my Keurig? Any chance of mold growth inside the water tubing? Great, useful review.

[@Fathercraft]

We used the original brezza for almost a year with tap water and didn't notice any sort of residue build up. However, I know that not all water is made equal so depending on how much calcium is in your water supply may have an affect.

[@victoriabalogh4519]

So, besides the nozzle/funnel piece every 4 bottles and the formula container/parts every month, are there other pieces that need regular maintenance?

[@Fathercraft]

Nope - that’s it.

[@dianavalencia815]

is there a water temp degree or how will i know if how hot is the water came out?

[@duey2613]

What is the best way to clean the nozzle and formula storage parts?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Nancy, the nozzle just gets hand washed every 4 uses, everything else just once per month-the water tank can go in the dishwasher, the powder container and 3 parts just a gentle hand wash with warm soapy water. Hope that helps! Paul

[@smartyrispoms9080]

Why isn’t my bottle warm even I put on the setting to high temp??? It’s cold when it came out ;-(

[@EmilyClede]

I’m adopting a baby and this sounds so helpful! Does the milk come out the right warm temperature safe for baby, or do you need to let it cool?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Emily, it comes out at the correct temp, ready to go!

[@EmilyClede]

I really wish we had gotten this after I struggled so hard with breastfeeding. Those late nights are brutal. I remember spilling so much formula from being half asleep and the baby just flailing around haha. Can I ask what brand of formula you use?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Cheyenne - Thanks for the comment! I couldn’t agree more. Personally, sleep deprivation and I did not mix well 🥁🥁🙋🏼‍♂️. We used Infamil with both of our kids.

[@darkphoenixangel3151]

This is awesome... Would be great for my son and his wife ..baby due in July 😁 thank you for the review...wish I had this when mine were little lol

Yep Angela, this is a pretty major advance in bottle feeding! All the best to your son and his family!

[@darkphoenixangel3151]

@@Fathercraft thank you same to you and yours sir

[@oscarnunez-castillo6473]

Does it always mix the formula probably or should one still mix it after it's prepared to make sure all the clumps are gine??

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Oscar - I always found that a gentle shake at the end was all you needed. It never clumped up to the point that it stopped the flow of formula from the bottle, in my experience.

[@alexandraeliadis7153]

How come the powder setting won’t show? If you get the 4 onz dose it all ready do the powder setting?

[@NcHawk17]

Hey, I have the baby brezza bottle sterilizer. Do they recommend sterilizing the parts? and do they recommend washing it with a light dish soap?

[@Fathercraft]

Hello. Sterilizing the parts aren’t necessary - just a light wash with mild soap does the trick.

[@icydeadpeeps]

Does this keep the water heated constantly in a reservoir, meaning you'd need to leave it plugged in all the time or have to wait a while for it to heat after plugging it in again? We really are limited on counter space for things like this to be always on if we aren't formula feeding for each feeding.

[@Fathercraft]

Hello. Yes, the machine needs to be plugged in to keep the water warm. It takes about 5 or so minutes to warm the water up after plugging it in.

[@asiacurtis7191]

How hot does the water actually get? Wondering because I was told it’s safer to actually boil water and let the formula sit and cook down to rule out any bacteria that could possibly be in it ,so I want to know if the water gets that kind of hot?

[@Fathercraft]

There are three temp setting: room temp, 98 degrees, and 104 degrees. Baby Brezza doesn’t heat formula just mixes warmed water and the formula.

[@cristalcl]

Can you adjust the temperature on the Baby Brezza or does it usually stay at 1 warmth setting?

[@Fathercraft]

Yes There are three settings. Room temperature, 98°, and 104°.

[@sandracarnal6772]

We just switched to formula and the night feedings are a pain. Is the Pro quieter than its former model?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Sandra - yes dramatically quieter! Dramatically quiet...🤔? Yes - definitely quieter. I’m sure you’ll appreciate this straight forward answer haha.

[@steviebolton3028]

Are that parts dishwasher safe? Sorry if already asked didn't have time to read previous comments.

[@Fathercraft]

Hey Stevie, some of the parts are but a few should be hand-washed.

[@ImacDeath]

I have the same bottle warmer - don't you need to cover the bottles as you warm them up? Or have I just been making myself more dirty bottle parts than I need? XD

[@Fathercraft]

Haha - you might be right. I think that may have been an oversight on my part during filming.

[@Xxxjade56]

I need one of this for my best friend who just had a baby 1/1/20

[@JaswinderSingh-gp7uo]

What setting should I put for infamil brand ?

[@cameronwright8316]

How well does this travel? Also, If you introduce a warm bottle to your baby, will they refuse a cold bottle at other times if you leave this at home? Do you recommend also having a bottle warmer?

[@Fathercraft]

Hey Cameron ... Formula Pro is not particularly portable. Cold bottles in our experience depends on the baby ... some will, some won’t. But, part of the adventure is figuring out how to make warm bottles on the go ... running under a hot faucet ... a little hot water plus a lot of cold from Starbucks ...

[@cameronwright8316]

Thanks for the reply!

[@alexlewis8084]

What does cleaning the funnel consist of? Multiple parts? Need to sterilize?

[@Fathercraft]

Just a quick rinse. It doesn’t need to be dried before using it again.

[@la-toyawilliams2391]

Is LCD screen easy to read and is it small print?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi La-Toya - the display isn’t particularly large but it is well lit and easy to read.

[@jinakono]

Can you help me? Why does the water dispense in UK sizes and not US? How can we adjust this?

[@goldenboy8474]

What does the powder Measures in ? Scoops or ounces on the Machine setting?

[@hajramkhan]

What does the powder setting refer to? (Sorry, going to be my first baby so completely clueless about formula, and everything else baby related for that matter)

[@Fathercraft]

Hi - different formulas have different consistencies so the Brezza accounts for that by requiring that you enter the setting corresponding to the type of formula you are using.

[@computergeek737]

Is there a wait time after you turn it on to warm the water like a Keurig or does it do it in real time?

[@Fathercraft]

Hello - the water is pre heated in the tank and it only takes a couple of minutes to warm it to the temperature you set.

[@jilainecoppola8079]

Do you leave the machine powered on 24/7 or turn it off after each use?

[@srebristinamurphy3582]

Can you dispense multiple bottles one after another or is there a wait time for the water to heat up again?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Srebristina - the water is heated in the tank so you don’t have to wait for it to heat up. However, once you refill the tank it’ll take a few minutes for the refilled water to reach the set temperature.

[@dramaqale12]

If you’re using filtered water (as opposed to distilled) do you find that it builds up calcium residue like Nespresso and Keurigs do? Do you have to descale every once in a while? And if so how?

[@Fathercraft]

We used the original brezza for almost a year with tap water and didn't notice any sort of residue build up. However, I know that not all water is made equal so depending on how much calcium is in your water supply may have an affect.

[@12309iloveyou]

I really enjoyed this video! I received a baby breeza as a gift and i am just starting to use it now. Have you had any issues with the amount of water vs formula? Like is if the setting of formula is 4 and than you need a 6 ounce bottle do you have to up or go down on the amount of ounces? Hope this makes sense lol

[@sandrapodkalicki6252]

1. Were you ever worried about the water to powder ratio? I know that each powder has a certain setting but I have read so many comments and reviews on people saying that they tested the baby brezza (which the company advises NOT to do since you supposedly can't test it accurately yourself) and it dispensed either too much powder or too little powder. 2. Was every bottle perfectly mixed or were there sometimes clumps? Thanks!

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Sandra - I never encountered any clumping issues. At the extreme end, I would have to gently swirl the formula after it dispensed but never ran into clumps.

[@sandrapodkalicki6252]

Fathercraft great! Thanks. And the water to powder ratio? Ever worried about that? Like I mentioned so many people said they tested and it dispensed an incorrect amount of powder

[@Kaylanguyen3979]

Love your honest review. Thank you

[@faithshahan5168]

I’m new to the baby Brezza. My question is how do you know how many ounces of water to set with the formula setting. So my formula setting is 6. How many ounces of water makes up a perfect bottle. I hope that makes sense.

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Faith - yeah makes sense. So the only thing you need to know is how how many ounces you want made. The Brezza takes care of dispensing the appropriate amount of water and formula.

[@courtneyc2254]

How often do you find you have to refill the water tank?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Courtney. The 50oz tank is equivalent to around nine 6oz bottles. For us it was about every day and a half or so.

[@LilyMayBear]

Does it mix as well on the room temp setting as on warmer settings?

[@Fathercraft]

Hello - yes mixed quite consistently regardless of temp setting

[@alexgilbert99]

are the parts that need cleaning dishwasher safe?

[@Fathercraft]

Yes they are.

[@danko8g679]

Are the washable parts dishwasher safe?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi, the water tank is dishwasher safe, but the mixing pieces should be hand-washed. Best, Paul

[@cursedxad]

I really need your thoughts on this. I noticed a few things with the one I bought and I want to ask if it's normal or if it's a defect so I could return it. 1st: My measuring wheel does not lay flat when placed in the Powder Container. I tried pushing it but it always seems to be tilted to one side. 2nd: Due to the measuring wheel's tilt, after placing the locking cover, the stirring wheel does not click properly. 3rd: After several attempts to get that stirring wheel "click" and stability, after turning on the machine and using it, the powder container starts bouncing and as a result the stirring wheel becomes loose again. I'm this close to returning, looking toward to your valuable response. Thanks!

[@Fathercraft]

Definitely seems like there’s some sort of issue there. I would exchange it for a new one just because I think it works so well it’s worth trying out another one.

[@isabelsantillano9382]

Are the parts dishwasher safe ?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Isabel - all of the parts in the formula canister are machine washable as is the water tank.

[@jazmaine1234567890]

Do settings need to be adjusted everytime it is cleaned?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Jose - no settings are kept even if the Brezza is turned off and then back on.

Hi Danyell - I didn’t have problems with that nor did the family who also tested it for. Thanks for the question!

[@cheesequesadilla7977]

Curious to know if I would be able to adjust the temperature to an almost room temp heat (or with no heat at all), and if so would it still mix up the bottle properly and perform just as well? My baby luckily does not prefer a warm bottle over one that has not been heated, and I would like to keep it that way in case we’re out and about and am unable to warm one up. Thanks for any feedback! 😃

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Cadie. Yes - you are able to make a room temperature bottle by adjusting the temperature setting.

[@willowandmelody_r.therians]

Hi Nicole. We haven’t heard of any illnesses occurring from Baby Brezza use.

Is this worth buying when baby is already 5 months old? Trying to justify spending the $200.

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Priscilla - $200 is a big expense but for me the convenience of making a bottle within seconds was totally worth the spend.

[@JohnVeritas]

How does the powder setting work? Does it auto-calculate whether you want to use 2 / 3 / 4 / or more ounces? I am using Enfamil Neuro Infant and it tells me 4 online. This is pretty vague and doesn't tell you if it's a measured amount like ½ scoop or 1 tablespoons... Also just going to throw this out there about why I personally will NOT be using the Baby Brezza bottles... I watched a mother bottle-feeding her 1 month old son, correctly I feel I must add, and the baby stopped breathing! I thought this could happen for any number of reasons but after talking with other parents as well as our pediatrician and of course the unreliable online reviews, I found a pattern of this serious issue. I'm not here to bash anyone, just saying this because I physically had to perform CPR on a 1 month old and this could be more than just rumors.

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Christopher - yes, the Brezza will automatically dispense the appropriate amount of formula and water for the number of ounces you want to make.

[@ThePinkSagittarius]

Have you experienced any issues?

[@Fathercraft]

Hi Arriel - the only slight issue I've run into is that if you are low on water it will still let you make a bottle despite there not being enough water in the tank. So, there is the potential to waste a little bit of formula.
