When you need it
A formula mixing machine helps from birth for families who formula feed. It tends to stay useful through about 12 months, after which most children stop drinking formula.
What to look for
Check that the machine can be calibrated for the specific formula brand you use, since powder density varies. Look for a large water tank, a sealed powder container and parts that are easy to remove and wash. Consider noise level for night feeds and how much counter space it needs. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning schedule carefully to keep it hygienic.
