Tommee Tippee Milk Powder Dispensers, 6 Pack

Brilliant product, the amount of times I’ve miscounted scoops of milk powder (usually on the night feed) is unreal. With these I now don’t have to throw it away, I can empty it back into the tub. And not needing to take the tub when I go out saves space in the changing bag. Highly recommend.

I decided to buy these to use in conjunction with the TT food warmer for late night or early morning feeds and also for travel, if that is ever a possibility again. They are good but I found a few issues with them, firstly they should be sterilised and are suitable for all sterilisation methods. So far, so good, BUT the dispenser has to be completely dry inside before adding scoops of formula powder, for obvious reasons. Unless you have one of the new and very expensive sterilisers that dries as well, this means you either need to leave the dispenser on a drainer to dry, or dry it with kitchen roll or a clean tea towel, both rendering the dispenser no longer sterile. I figured that since formula powder is not sterile, that drying the dispenser on the inside only while trying to handle the outside as little as possible, would be OK. Secondly scoop sizes and powder density vary between brands and with the formula I use, even with five scoops, the dispenser is almost completely full and it is tricky to get the last bits out due to this. There is no way it would hold 8 scoops of it. I am not sure why they could not have made the dispenser pot longer to accommodate all brands, there is plenty of room in the bottle for this. Thirdly, with the water at the advised temperature some of the formula in the dispenser gets stuck due to the steam as well.
