Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Baby Bottle Formula Dispensers – 6 Count

I did not purchase these to use for baby formula, but rather to transport a powdered protein based meal for myself. I really couldn't tell how much volume each dispenser actually would hold by the description given by the manufacturer, or even by the (helpful) reviews here on Amazon. So, the answer is, the amount each dispenser will hold with the funnel/spout/cap inverted is 4 tablespoons/2 ounces. With the funnel/spout/cap in the outward position, it holds slightly more. This said, if one is planning to use this when out and about, its better to just have it aiming out. I think it has the potential to be pretty messy when filled with a powder, if one has to undo the top and reverse the funnel into a pouring spout. There really isn't anything to grasp to onto to pull the lid off in order to switch the position. The lid is in two pieces, the funnel/spout part snaps securely into the top of the cup in either position, projecting in or out, and the cap fits onto the the spout part separately. The cap part is a snug fit, but it does not snap into place or screw on, so theoretically it could be dislodged a bit if tumbling around in a suitcase or something. I like them okay, they work for my purposes. UPDATE: Although I still like these, and think if you are purchasing for the purpose that they are designed for they'd be truly great--hence the five star rating--however, I found another formula dispenser that I like a whole lot better for my needs. The Munchkin Powdered Formula Dispenser Combo Pack turns out to be just perfect for me. The main dispenser is divided to hold and dispense three servings, and also included is a bonus single serving dispenser. The Munchkins dispensers hold about a quarter more volume too. I was actually just after the individual dispensers, but have made use of the larger three portion ones too. The combo pac is offered by Amazon as an "add on" item at a very good price. I paid $2.98 for the combo. Aesthetically they are more pleasing, but, beyond that, and more importantly, they're much more secure as far as spillage worries. These Tommee Tippee dispensers are ingenious in that they fit into the Tommee Tippee bottles, but, on their own, the cap that fits onto the funnel/spout part are at risk of coming off. Maybe they never would, but, I still am happier with the Munchkins dispenser. FYI I have a feeding tube due due to inability to swallow safely. I make my own food rather than using "medical" formula. (hooray for BlendTec :) blenders! ) However, being prepared to have a meal when away from home, but yet not wanting to lug too much extra around has been a challenge. After a lot of trial and error I've come up with a protein powder mix that works for me when I'm not home, and don't have access to refrigeration. I add a few more powdered ingredients (juices) to the protein powder, and keep some pre-measured to take along when running errands or out with friends. I have standard neck baby 8 oz baby bottles, and use Dr Brown's travel lids (I donate all the nipple/ring assembly to charity). For those of you looking for a completely leak-proof cap for baby bottles, you absolutely can't beat the Dr Brown's travel caps. They fit Medela, Nuby, Evenflo standard neck bottles. Probably all standard neck, these are just the brands I have.

I used these for traveling and sent them to daycare when my LO was very young( then staff measured it out themselves). These were easier to fit in various pockets compared to the large, sectioned dispensers, especially when using a small bag. I also found it very convenient to put a couple by my bed at night for feedings. My LO drank bottles at room temperature, so I simply pre-filled the water and the powder before bed, and in the middle of the night, mixed them. The funnel top made that easy to do! Sometimes the humidity made the formula stick to the dispenser, but usually only a thin layer at the bottom would stay behind. They were very easy to wash; you don’t need any special brushes. I did notice that some pieces didn’t fit all of the others…for example, the lid would fit over one funnel tightly, but wouldn’t stay on another funnel at all. Or some funnel-lids were too big or too small to fit the cups. It was a little bit like playing “Goldilocks” to find what fit, lol, but not too inconvenient in the grand scheme of things. Just make sure you test all of that before packing them! I only had one issue of spilling the formula in the bag, and it was because I was in a hurry and didn’t check the fit first. I used these for my LO’s first 14 months and they’re still in great condition. Plan to use them for the next LO, too! Would recommend!

This is the only product I've found that works really well for storing and transporting pre-measured formula. I have twins, and having formula ready to go on the road or in the middle of the night is essential to my getting any rest at all. We don't use Tommee Tippee bottles, but I have found these fit inside the Munchkin Latch bottles my one twin uses (not with water, though, that must be carried separately). They do not fit inside the MAM bottles my other twin uses. Despite this, they'er still the best solution we've found. Other formula containers are tricky to pour from or formula clings to the insides. They also tend to be bulky and hold multiple portions in one device, yet not hold enough portions for an entire night or a day out. I love that these let you take exactly the amount you need, no more or less, and the insides are very smooth, so the formula just slides out, little or none stays stuck to the inside. Every evening I fill the usual number of bottles per twin with water and an equivalent number of these with formula and line them up ready to go next to the bed. When a baby wakes, open the bottle, dump the formula in, and mix- it's ready in a minute or less. Such an improvement over trying to measure things half awake. They're also nice and small, so easy to tuck in the side pockets on the diaper bag (for the twin who uses MAM bottles or when they're empty). These are a great little invention and I recommend them for anyone who is formula feeding, especially multiples!

رائعة وتشيل بودر حتى 6 ملاعق استخدمها بدل مقسمات الحليب الاعتيادية لأني أحتاج اخذ حق وجبه أو وجبتين فقط

son magnificos los dosificadores, caben en mamilas de RN ( 5oz )y las de 9oz, super solución para llevar la formula ya medida y no les entra el agua que lleva la mamila.... super útiles y fabricado con excelentes materiales. Al esterilizarlos no cambian de color ni se ponen opacos. le caben hasta 7 oz de fórmula.

Perfect

Helpful to organize milk portion

Sehr gut, vor Allem nachts oder unterwegs, wenn es schnell gehen muss
