Baby brezza-“right setting” making diluted formula

Today I found out that my baby brezza was dispensing the wrong amount of formula. Since my newborn cries a lot when he wakes up and doesn't get his milk right away I decided to buy a baby brezza about a month ago. A couple of days ago we went to my in-laws and manually prepared my baby's formula all day, the next day his poop was different, less liquid, I started to suspect that maybe the baby brezza wasn't preparing the formula correctly, so I got a kitchen scale and today I tested it. We use enfamil neuro pro gentlease and according to the baby brezza website the setting should be 4, well today I found out that all this time the baby brezza has been dispensing 1.5 g less than it should. I feel so bad, all this time I have been giving my baby diluted formula, he has been gaining weight correctly but I can't help but feel guilty 😭😭😭

this happened to me with my first when i started formula feeding. don’t beat yourself up

@luu🤎Were you using the right setting but the baby brezza was dispensing the wrong amount of formula?

I just found that out too

yep. we weighed the amount of formula with a normal scoop and then amount that got dispensed by machine. it was almost 2g less than what she should have gotten in total. she was having trouble gaining weight and i didn’t understand why. our pediatrician told us to check it bc she just had 2 other babies in the office dealing w the same thing. i threw it away because i didn’t feel comfortable even donating it to someone else.

@Keela I feel so bad for my baby, I should have tested it before 🥲

@luu🤎 omg I feel so upset, at first the baby brezza made my life simpler but now I hate it. What we did was to change the setting to one that dispenses the same weight as one scoop but definitely in gonna keep testing it almost every day just to make sure is dispensing the right amount

I learned that formula will build up under the dispenser. So even if you clean the black funnel looking pieces you still gave to de gunk right above it where that orange piece sits. I haven’t had any issues yet but now your making me want to weigh mine too🤣 only time my formula is diluted is when it gets too low

we ended up getting the water dispenser thing that heats the water and then added the formula manually.
