There is a reason NHS guidelines advise against this machine.
The hot shot fails.
Try it yourself with a thermometer.
( had my machine less than a month)
I'm very lucky I got this machine from Amazon.
When I contacted tommee tippee I received a real disregard for concern and was told " some babies dont take to how the machine makes the milk ".... this is a lie.
First two weeks my I gave my newborn instant milk formula.
I had read the prep machine starts at 4oz and this is alot for a newborn.
But I had a hungry baby that was pretty much drinking 2-3 oz.
I decided to use the machine and not worry about waste.
About a two weeks after using the machine I noticed my baby would scream after feeds.
She wasnt settling and would grunt alot.
I thought at first, maybe I have a fussy baby.
I tried infacol and detinox, helped a little at first but same symtoms continued.
Gp advised to change milk.
Symptoms still continued and baby started to gargle and splutter when on her back.
She seems to also have alot of pain in her tummy.
I took her again to the gp baby was screaming after every feed, seemed to have stomach pains , grunting and became constipated....baby was put on infant gaviscon.
Again a little improvement.
I happend to go out all day with baby and only had instant milk.
She seemed to have her first "good day" shes had in ages.
I continued the next day on instant and she was fine.
I ran out of instant milk and as soon as I gave baby a bottle front he machine she screamed in pain and wouldn't finish it.
Then I realised it could be the machine.
I tried kettle bottles and using a flask with cooled bottled water and baby was fine.
The only reaction my baby had was when the machine was used.
Within 48hours of not using the machine baby showed a great improvement.
A month after not using machine baby was baby to being happy and normal.
I felt like I had my baby back.
Baby even stopped needing infacol.
No symtoms and now sleeps through the night.
If you dont believe me, join mum groups online and Facebook and ask, these machines are making babies sick....not just mine.
Will be reporting to trading standards.
(Also machine started sputtering during use of hot shot and would over fill bottles )
