Not going to lie – I would think about buying it; but I’ll admit I love gadgets like this. One thing that makes the price a little more reasonable IMO is that it takes like 4 minutes to heat up the darn bottles in the Dr. Brown bottle warmer. At 3am when bebe is screaming and pitching a fit; I’d throw down $300 to have bottles ready at the right temp in less than a minute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505756 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:59:54 +0000 PrincessBaby 505756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: ohhhhhh...Wow! I'm about to google....</p> <p>@LazyLightning: ditto! I feel like there's this stigma here that if you don't BF then you're not doing the best for your baby! But I had to FF 2x for several days and H still gained weight like a champ and was super happy so I think FF is fine! But there is so much social pressure to do it! Yes-and celebrities like Giselle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505744 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:56:42 +0000 2PeasinaPod 505744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I'm with you...it's definitely a luxury, but then again, so is a bottle warmer, bottle sterilizer, disposable diapers, etc. You can argue that a pot of boiling water can warm a bottle, a stock pot full of boiling water can be a bottle sterilizer and cloth diapers work just as well, but are more work. It's all about what's important to you to make life easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505722 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:51:10 +0000 LazyLightning 505722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: i'm definitely going to google this when i'm not at work! So interesting. In the US it's such a high pressure "breastfeed or be judged as a terrible mother" culture. With celebrities saying thing like "if you don't breastfeed, you didn't try hard enough for your baby" and things like that.. it's nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505666 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:32:47 +0000 mamimami 505666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I live in Mexico, a developing country, where bfing is indeed perceived that way. In a recent study a large percentage of people here who breastfed said they did so because they didn't have the money for formula. Formula companies prey on developing countries where people need a breastfeeding "culture" most of all and it makes me very mad. Nestlé is among the worst. I encourage all of you to have a google about the WHO code.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505661 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:31:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 505661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread makes me want a Keurig! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505654 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:28:07 +0000 PrincessBaby 505654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: do you really feel like BFing is perceived as low-rent? I've felt the opposite, like there's so much pressure to make BFing work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505645 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:25:36 +0000 Alivoo01 505645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: LMAO!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505642 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:25:21 +0000 mamimami 505642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally obnoxious. I hate this. Marketing to make FF seem fancy and nice. Already living in a society where BF is perceived as low-rent, things like this really get me going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505597 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:04:58 +0000 PrincessBaby 505597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Keurig too, but mainly bc DH works offshore so it makes sense just to make1 or 2 Kcups instead of a whole pot since it's just me...</p> <p>I had to FF for a few days on 2 separate occasions due to H's Breastmilk Jaundice and it's so easy as it is! </p> <p>I mean, I don't mind paying for convenience but that's over the top even for me! I truly enjoyed FF bc I was like "This is so frickin' easy! Whoever came up with this is genius!" I can't imagine it being any easier than running warm water and putting scoops in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505594 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:04:10 +0000 LazyLightning 505594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol anyone who says the Keurig is unnecessary hasn't owned or used one. So much faster, easier, and less messy than dealing with coffee filters and grinding the beans. If we had a house fire, I'd want to save it before running out the door!! It's a family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505583 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:00:00 +0000 Andrea 505583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nah, you won't use it for very long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505577 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:58:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 505577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: i agree! love my keurig! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505542 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:41:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 505542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: love this!</p> <p>I have to admit, I'd probably get this is I was EFF...especially if we had twins. I wish it wasn't tied into that brand of formula though.<br /> And I love my Keurig and don't think it's unnecessary. It's a coffee maker like any other coffee maker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505528 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:36:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 505528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would soooooo get this if we had unlimited money! But since I've got breastmilk and formula only comes in to play for a bit between weaning and switching to cow's milk, obviously not a very good investment unless I sold it after I was finished with it.</p> <p>I felt the same way about the Beaba Babycook. I didn't make purees but if I did I'd just use a blender. But unlimited money? Bring on the Beaba (and a chef to use it)!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505518 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:31:21 +0000 prettylizy 505518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree it's pretty badass, but definetely a luxury. The same thing could be said about my expensive stroller. I say if you can afford it, go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505425 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:56:09 +0000 Dandelion 505425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty cool. I'm a nursing mom, but if I formula fed, and I could afford this, it would totally appeal to me. One of the reasons I'm for breastfeeding is the simple fact that it's so easy to not have to make up a bottle. I like things to be easy, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505422 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:53:54 +0000 MamaMoose 505422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cost of the machine wouldn't be a big deal to me but the fact that the formula itself is much more expensive than regular formula makes the whole thing pretty stupid to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505421 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:52:55 +0000 mediagirl 505421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That. Is. AWESOME!!! If I had unlimited funds and used formula, I would TOTALLY get it!!! And I would get one for upstairs (nighttime feedings) and one for downstairs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505415 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:47:59 +0000 blackbird 505415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dude that's awesome. But those little k-cups have to be hella expensive, too. I don't think I could justify almost $300 plus the double cost of formula. Unless it was a gift. </p> <p>That said, now i want a Keurig style latte maker that works with the push of a button. I saw that Starbucks makes one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505380 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:33:59 +0000 SugarplumsMom 505380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome! It would be so convenient ... but that price tag. I'll admire it from here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505362 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:29:09 +0000 HabesBabe 505362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: HAHAHAHAHA this is the best statement ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505331 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:18:22 +0000 Mrsbells 505331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I agree with "equally as unnecessary as the Keurig itself. " </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505319 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:13:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 505319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you had loads of money lying around, or multiple children needing bottles often (say, 2 under 2 or twins/triplets/etc!) that would be awesome. </p> <p>I'd never spend that for one baby, though.. we received our Keurig as a shower gift, but even so, myself and my husband both use it as well as when we have people over, so it's definitely paid for itself by now in saving us dunkin' runs! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505299 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:05:58 +0000 loveisstrange 505299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I think it's totally pimp.... but equally as unnecessary as the Keurig itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-for-baby-formula#post-505289 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:03:24 +0000 Alivoo01 505289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Switzerland has developed a "keurig" type of machine for making baby formula! It retails for $284! Ouch! I think this is kind of unnecessary. Would you purchase something like this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.parenting.com/blogs/show-and-tell/melanie-parentingcom/nestle-launches-high-tech-baby-formula-machine" rel="nofollow">http://www.parenting.com/blogs/show-and-tell/melanie-parentingcom/nestle-launches-high-tech-baby-formula-machine</a> </p>
