DANGEROUS!!! Please read this review!
We loved this machine at first. My baby is 100% formula fed. My husband is a Type A personality, who assembled and cleaned the machine via the instructions.
However, the Brezza did not dispense enough formula into my son's bottles.
My son was receiving very few calories and very large amounts of water. Too much water can cause water intoxication. My 5 week old son ended up having constipation, reflux, and severe gas after using this product. He also developed pretty severe colic.
My son was a 6 week early preemie and this product underserved his nutritional needs for about 1.5 weeks. Our doctor told us we were lucky that his kidneys did not shut down.
We caught the problem because a friend of ours noticed how watery our bottle had become. That was dumb luck. We had taken our malnourished son to the doctor twice because he stopped going to the bathroom, started crying constantly and had increased his food intake so much (because he was largely sucking down water)and there would have been no reason for the doctor to ask to see our bottles from the Brezza.
Do not ignore other poor reviews because you believe people did not follow instructions! We did follow instructions and ended up with an underfed baby.
I am attaching a photo. The bottle on the left is Brezza made. The one on the right is mixed by hand.
I am also attaching information about water intoxication which is a possible outcome of feeding a baby with the water laden bottles from the Brezza.
