 Very useful but not very durable. Jul 17, 2009
By Teddy Bird
Pros:
- This pitcher is exceptional as far as reducing foam. Similac Sensitive is horribly foamy and I wound up scooping out the 3/4" of foam that formed when I would mix bottles individually. This pitcher does away with that problem completely.
- Very convenient to mix a day's worth of formula and just have it in the fridge.
- Although the mechanism comes across as "flimsy", it really isn't. It works fine and the parts are meant to be loose-fitting.
Cons:
- As far as I can tell, this cannot be sterilized either with boiling water or in the microwave.
- After about 4 mos of use, my pitcher has started to warp slightly. I am surprised, as I never put it in the dishwasher so it's not exposed to high heat. Since it's now slightly misshapen, the fit of the lid is no longer true and I experience leaks both during mixing, when the level of the liquid is too close to the top of the pitcher and splashes upward, as well as during pouring. Drag.
I'm here to buy a second one. Not thrilled that I'm having to do this, and at 6 mos of age, my baby's probably going to require a third one before the bottle feeding's done. Not the end of the world but for this transgression, the pitcher loses a couple of stars.

 Great tool for preparing your bottles Jan 09, 2010
By Antimony3
Some people like to mix formula in the bottles as needed, but at 2am I wasn't having any part of that AND a newborn who was screaming from being hungry. Instead, we purchased this pitcher to mix up large amounts of powdered formula. You can make as little as 8 ounces and as many as 32 ounces so it will take you from birth through the first year - not bad for a product you will use every day and is less than $20! The measuring amounts are raised on the plastic so there is no chance of them washing away or losing visibility over time or use. The pitcher is 4 parts and is dishwasher safe. 3 of the parts absolutely must go on the top rack and the little handle thing can sit safely in the silverware bucket of the dishwasher. To use the pitcher: just measure out the formula, fill with water as needed and simply pump the handle up and down. It's pretty simple. Some of the reviewers complain about air bubbles after mixing and that is easy enough to fix - let the formula rest a bit prior to pouring in the bottles. It's not that big of a deal. Overall this product is great. It does exactly what it claims to do and is less than $20.00. Worth purchasing for HOME formula preparation. If you are looking for something to use for travel, consider an electric mini mixer that you just pop in the bottle.

 Good for foaming baby formula May 16, 2009
By K. Marshall
We bought two of these mixers for our twins several months ago. They work well for foaming baby formula, such as thickned formula for babies with reflux. Remember, when mixing formula that tends to foam, do not raise mixing blades above the liquid level in the container because it sucks air into the formula and causes more foaming. The impellers from our first two mixers broke (plastic piece attaching impeller blades to shaft)after a few months of use, but we just bought two more mixers! It should see us through the rest of formula feeding (another few months).

Excellent Formula Mixer Apr 25, 2009
By MOMofTHREE
This pitcher does exactly what it says it does. There are never any lumps in the formula and I mix alumentum. I would recommend this. My son has very bad reflux and it did help reduce the bubbles. I would mix the night before and give it overnight to settle.

bpa-free mixer Jan 20, 2009
By MiMi
our baby used to swallow tons of air in her bottle and we switched to dr. brown's bottle. we're glad that the pitcher goes that extra effort with not introducing air to begin with. the mixer works really well with removing clumps and is a well-designed product.
