Perfect prep - worth it?

[mrsed1987]

Just wonderer what peoples viewl/experiences are with the tommee tippee perfect prep? Is it worth the price?

Thanks

I got one and only used it once doesn't make them hot enough

It saved my sanity, would definitely recommend! When you're feeding on demand it's a pain in the arse to have to make bottles up and I never had the time to make a big batch up for the fridge in the mornings. Our bottles were always warm enough for DS and the initial shot of water is above 70 degrees so I don't see a problem with them. Once it's cleaned regularly they're fine.

Yes yes yes! It saved my sanity. 100% worth the money.

Be sure to only buy the TT branded proper filters. There are fakes online which are dangerous.

The actual best thing you will buy!! I couldn't live without mines and I'll be using it again this time around x

Loved it. Life saver.

We were passed one on from a relative but didn’t end up using it because breastfed (and still going at 8 months) so I wouldn’t buy one at the outset. I had anticipated mixed feeding at some point but hasn’t happened!

Thanks all. Think we will get one! X

My midwife warned me not to buy one due to them not heating the water hot enough x

Sorry to hijack, can I ask a question to those with a perfect prep. I have bought one and have just set it up yesterday, it says to fill with cold water.
Do you use cooled boiled water or straight from the tap? Just curious as it obviously heats up the first lot of water but the second it's just the tap water? Therefore not cooled boiled which is normally recommended? Or is it since it goes through the filter it makes it okay?

Absolute life saver x

@Stargirl90 the filter takes any nasties out of the water.

We loved ours :)

Absolute lifesaver; worth it's weight in gold.
Especially during the nights, bottle ready to drink in 2 minutes.

@stargirl90 just use tap water. There’s a filter in there that removes any impurities.

I think they are brill, used one with my son and will be using it again with our second. A lifesaver when you are up in the night and need a bottle instantly. No messing around with boiling kettles and waiting for things to cool down.

Ah that's what I wondered, thanks :)

HV told us the reason you boil the water is partly because formula isn't sterile 🤷‍♀️ Didn't use as turned out I was, and still able to, breastfeed DD.

Our DD2 likes her milk hot so we just put two shots of hot water in and adjust the remaining water volume accordingly. We did the same with DD1. It does involve a bit more thinking which can be tricky in the depths of the night but not really an issue. I'd definitely recommend it.

Hands down, the best thing I've bought for DD. I even bought a second one for the caravan.

It’s absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant, love mine, I even bought two one for upstairs next to the bed one for down stairs to make the night feeds easier

Yes, if bottle feeding, get 2! One in kitchen, one in bedroom/nursery - perfect!

Absolutely loved ours and never had an issue with it :)

Ours has been brilliant. I fill mine with cooled boiled water.

Amazing

Best piece of baby kit we bought!
