The prep machine my friend gave me was making the hot shot above 70 but the issues is not that...apparently is the way the water get mixed with the formula before you shake it snd once you add the cold water. It creates more boubles and air, so some babies gets very sick with that. Mine did projectile vomit as well. I might try it in few months, if not I will give it back to my friend.
I’ve put mine away, wont use it again as it made my baby projectile vomit after every feed. Since going back to kettle he’s been fine
@Angela use a food thermometer x
@Sara not reaching 70 would also be an issue, as babies can get gastro issues from the bacteria in formula x
I’ve used the same prep machine for both first and second. My first had awful reflux and was a very unsettled baby lasted until she was 7 months old, bless her. My second is a dream to be honest. So I don’t think I can blame the reflux on the prep machine in my case
Update! I thought it was just a coincidence but tonight is the second night in a row now where my baby hasn’t had a 6-7 hour witching hour. It definitely made her ill- i’m so shocked. I know many of these machines are ok but mine wasn’t and i’m not sure i trust that the filters get rid of all of the bacteria in tap water too. I would advise adding cool boiled water to the machine to take extra precautions. x
How did you test the hot shot. When I used a digital thermometer it just came up high x
