Bundle: Formula Pro Advanced & Bottle Washer Pro

The chemical bisphenol A, commonly referred to as BPA, is a chemical used in many plastic manufacturing processes, and its use dates as far back as the 1950s. Found in epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, many food containers, water bottles, and other consumer goods are known to contain BPA. Luckily, the Formula Pro Advanced is completely BPA-free, which is much safer for babies. The possible health effects of BPA cover a wide range of developmental aspects, including growth of the nervous system, thyroid, and brain. Moreover, BPA exposure has been linked to contributing to the risk of babies developing ADHD at an early age. Baby Brezza is proud to offer products that do not use BPA in an effort to provide safer, healthier equipment for families everywhere. 

The right amount of formula is critical for the health of the baby. The Formula Pro Advanced formula dispenser comes with settings for specific formula brands and types to accurately dispense the exact amount of formula. For more information, check out our blog on testing the accuracy of the Formula Pro Advanced. 

There are 3 simple steps to ensuring the Formula Pro Advanced operates and performs as promised. First and foremost, as we mentioned above, it’s important to ensure your powder-to-water ratio is correct– you can do this by checking measurements online or reading the guidelines on your formula’s packaging. Secondly, we always recommend keeping your powder level within the min and max lines printed on the front of the machine’s reservoir to ensure that the machine always has enough to pull from. Lastly, parents will want to clean the Formula Pro Advanced after every 4 bottles: cleaning the funnel of excess powder, wiping the underside of the powder reservoir, and filling the water dispenser with fresh water will always help your formula maker make feeding times perfect.

The Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced works with virtually all brands of formula including hypo-allergenic types such as Similac Alimentum.

While it is possible to find and use dish soaps that are safe for baby to use, it is not recommended due to the common presence of ingredients that can harm babies. If you haven’t found the ideal baby bottle washer for your home yet and need a quick option using dish soap, make sure to avoid these ingredients: the detergent sodium lauryl sulfate, known for its association with carcinogens; sodium laureth sulfate, which can be carcinogenic and cause liver damage; and artificial fragrances, which are known to cause allergic reactions. If nothing else, ensure you’ve boiled all of your baby bottle parts and have a bottle brush nearby– but we encourage parents to consider investing in an automatic bottle washer.

Again, this can be a case-by-case issue depending on the types of equipment that you have. If you do not have a bottle washing machine yet and want to use your dishwasher as your at-home bottle washer, there are two steps parents should always consider and follow accordingly: first and foremost, make sure that each bottle and its associated parts are, in fact, dishwasher safe– manufacturer’s labels will typically be found printed on the bottles themselves or on the packaging; secondly, make sure to use fully-heated washing and drying cycles that will kill germs and eliminate any moisture afterward. Extra moisture can promote bacterial growth and germs that are potentially harmful to baby.

Absolutely, and we encourage parents to look into equipment like a baby bottle washer machine to help make that process even easier and less risky. Each bottle component has to be washed and sterilized after every use to prevent buildup or cause extra moisture to linger in components. Buildup and moisture can lead to bacterial growth and germs that can harm the baby. This is why bottle washing & sterilizing for the first 12 months of a baby’s development are both so important.

Many parents may mistakenly believe that they can wash bottles after every use but will only need to sterilize them occasionally– this is not the case. In order to promote the healthiest environment and feeding times for baby, parents must sterilize each component of their baby’s bottles after each usage. Sterilization can be tricky to perfect and ensure each time, which is why we encourage parents to invest in a bottle washer that gets the job done correctly every time they press the Start button. You’ll rest assured knowing that baby is using fully-sterilized bottles every time, and baby will only be healthier for it– not to mention, an automatic bottle washer and sterilizer helps you save time, giving you even more moments to make memories with baby instead!
