 Review from Ladybirds and Lollipops - June 2011
Bottle Buddy is a unique electronic formula milk dispensing product which accurately counts a pre-set amount of powdered infant and follow on formula into a babies bottle. It's quick and simple to use and eliminates human error associated with manual scooping.
I am sure most parents have had that moment when you are making a babies bottle and you get distracted….you look back at the bottle and for the life of you can’t remember if you have put in 4 or 5 scoops, you stand there desperately trying to count the little floating mounds hoping that you actually make the right guess.
The bottle buddy takes all the guess work out of it, you just set the display to the amount of scoops you want and put the bottle under and push the button. The bottle buddy measures it out and when it’s done it’s pushed out so that there is no chance of you grabbing the bottle before all the formula is in. There is even an attachment that you can use which means you can use any size bottle. We find it particularly helpful as Noah has to have infant gaviscon in his bottle, whilst the bottle is having its formula put in it leaves us free to get the gaviscon ready, it may only save us a few seconds but it does mean that the bottle gets to Noah those few seconds quicker, and when Noah is screaming those few seconds really are a godsend.
There are some negative points though, it is quite fiddly the first time you put it together, but with practise it really does become a lot quicker. The bottle buddy comes with a set of 4 measures, they are different colours and you have to insert the measure that goes with the listed formulas. Unfortunately for us Noah’s formula wasn’t listed, but with a bit of trial and error we found the one that measured out the same as the formula scoops. You also have to make sure when you wash the components that they are completely dry before you use them or else it becomes clogged up. You can’t use water that is too hot when making bottles as the steam clogs the dispenser and you must keep a close eye on how much formula is in the reservoir as it’s very easy to let the formula to run out without realising it.
Whilst it may sound like there are a lot of negatives I have to say hand on heart the positives far out weigh the negatives. Not only is the bottle buddy fantastic for a busy mum (or dad) but it also looks good in the kitchen. There are a lot of baby inspired gadgets that get brought as they promise to make life easier, but they invariably end up in the back of the cupboard or in the loft. The bottle buddy is not one of these. It does what it says it will and it really has made our lives that little bit easier. I really do recommend the bottle buddy to all those with bottle fed babies.

Mummyz Wordz Reviews - June 2011
“Bottle Buddy is a unique electronic formula milk dispensing product which accurately counts a pre-set amount of powdered infant and follow on formula into a baby’s bottle.
Using Bottle Buddy to make up a feed is convenient, quick and easy to use and most importantly, it saves time and ensures that every bottle contains the right amount of formula every time.
Bottle Buddy eliminates the risk of contamination, human error and spillage by delivering an adjustable, preset, consistent quantity of powder at a touch of a button. Ideal for new parents or carers who may be nervous about formula quantities.
Bottle Buddy is set to revolutionise the way parents make up their babies bottles forever.”
Distracted by the doorbell, I lost count of my scoops while making a feed. What great timing! it was my Bottle Buddy arriving!
The packaging was attractive and bright, with a clear image of the product inside. The machine itself has a fair few components, which appears quite daunting when you open the box, but reading the instructions, it became clear that there were only so many in order to cater for a full range of formulas.
The instructions were clear and really easy to follow and set up was less than 5 minutes!
There are so many details I like about this product: the ease of use, the clear lit display, the way it pops the bottle out when it is done, but of course, its main feature is accurate formula dispensing. Making fresh feeds is so much quicker and easier now, and no irritating powder spillages!
I was really hesitant about trusting a machine with something as important as this, but you can physically see each "measure" of powder go in, and so I use it with confidence.
Despite my thoughts that it might be a superfluous kitchen gadget, I would really miss it now, and see it as an essential part if the feeding process. Ten out of ten!

MEASURE OF
SUCCESS
“Becoming a parent is a mine field of new challenges. For me, one of the toughest parts was the year-long nightly battle to prepare bottles correctly. I dread to think how many bottles of formula were thrown down the sink (or given to our cat) because the simple counting from one to seven was an impossible task or someone spoke to you when you were on four or was that five….Thankfully for our most recent arrival I was delighted to discover the availability of an automatic powdered formula dispenser, the Bottle Buddy.
