Sounds like the pitcher is a good idea. Heading to the store today to see if I can pick one up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-2611469 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 09:09:21 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2611469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No shaking required after its mixed. The pitcher made it easy for us to make batches for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-2611465 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 09:06:16 +0000 BSB 2611465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: As long as you mix it well, it won't settle. I make a batch and I like it to sit for a few minutes for any powder clumps to dissolve. Right before I pour into the bottles, I do a quick mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-2611370 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 07:03:05 +0000 ShootingStar 2611370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: No the formula doesn't settle. To me this is a must have if you WOH and send pre-filled bottles. So much faster to measure everything once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-2611367 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 06:52:43 +0000 The Dowager Countess 2611367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this pitcher. I normally give the bottle a swirl before/after heating it. I don't shake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-2611347 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 06:11:38 +0000 bloved 2611347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this thread. Ds just started daycare and wondering people's thoughts on the pitcher. I keep reading that it is great bc no shaking = less bubbles. This may be a dumb question, but the formula doesn't settle as the day goes on? I want to make the pitcher to pour into bottles for daycare, but will they just have to shake all of the bottles before they serve them anyway since it will be later in the day?<br /> Any advice is appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-335457 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:28:59 +0000 teamjse 335457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this pitcher.

I'll report back tonight after I make some formula! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-334197 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:03:38 +0000 Andrea 334197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, made bottles in it for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-334179 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:51:33 +0000 StbHisMrs 334179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks<br /> When she was younger she'd spit up horribly with cold formula, she's ok with it now! Otherwise we would've been cruel too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-334168 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:48:07 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 334168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: We are cruel parents, but we feed cold formula. Little one doesn't mind :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-334121 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:18:21 +0000 StbHisMrs 334121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it when we switched to the Kirkland brand formula, it was recommended since that formula is so bubbly. I loved it, then when she outgrew spitting up, I quit using it. I never did make big batches, I'd use it one bottle at a time. I hated heating up formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333922 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:46:43 +0000 dookie32 333922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make batches of formula in the Blender Bottles that people use for protein shakes. They hold up to 24 oz and I got mine for less than $10 at GNC. I also measure out the formula powder into Ziploc bags so I can make the process quicker :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333854 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:17:23 +0000 T-Mom 333854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used this for formula fed DD. it was awesome, made life so much easier. However, the plunger thing on the bottom kept falling off when I would mix. Hopefully they have fixed that issue by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333767 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:47:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 333767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg this pitcher changed my life!! I know shaking a bottle doesn't seem like much work but the pitcher makes it SO EASY. measure out formula for the entire day, fill with water, pull plunger up and down literally only like 4-5 times, and voila, enough formula for the whole day in the fridge. I can't wait to use it again, which sounds funny since it means going from 100% breastmilk to formula after I wean LMW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333718 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:26:42 +0000 Goldilocks1107 333718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I wanted one, but we didn't get it (LO is formula fed and 4.5 months old). We just make up the bottles at the start of the day and put them in the fridge. That way, we're ready to go when she's hungry and don't need to worry about washing yet another baby-feeding item.</p> <p>We did get a segmented formula holder for on-the-go. We put her scoops of formula in each segment, fill bottles up with water and hit the road without having to worry about keeping the bottles chilled. Then, when it's food time, we add the formula to the water, shake and it's meal time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333643 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:58:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 333643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently ordered one and it should be arriving today or tomorrow. I'll bump this thread once I use it; my fingers are crossed it works well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333629 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:49:46 +0000 loveisstrange 333629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What?!

We'd make 20 oz at once and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333580 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:28:30 +0000 autumnlove 333580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I wish I could shake up the formula in her Drop in bottles! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333576 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:26:32 +0000 Mrsbells 333576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought this pitcher but ended up returning it because I never make more than 4oz of formula a day. So it wasnt really worth using it for me<br /> But in your case where you are making 18oz of formula it would save you having to shake all 3 bottles separately </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-browns-formula-pitcher#post-333574 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:25:07 +0000 autumnlove 333574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently feed my LO pumped frozen breastmilk at home but she gets formula bottles at daycare and when we are out and about.</p> <p>Does anyone have the Dr. Brown's Formula pitcher? Yay or nay? I currently make 3 batches of 6oz formula bottles and shake them up before I pour them into her daycare bottles... </p>
