Advantages: Very easy to use Disadvantages: May be hard to see if you have different amounts in the dispenser
When my daughter was a few weeks old, my mum saw the Avent powder dispenser and thought it was a really good idea. When she gave it me i thought, "another gimic!" Oh how wrong could I be, it was fantastic! Up until this point we had been filling our bottles with cooled boiled water and scooping the milk into it as and when we needed it (this is not fun at 2 in the morning while holding a screaming baby)
***How does it work***
This is a small tub which is divided into 3 compatments (can hold 3 9oz feeds) which can be filled with the correct amount of powder. When needed just open the spout and pour the powder into the bottle. Then turn the lid around to the next compartment ready for the next feed. When the dispenser is no longer needed for powder, the dividers can be taken out and it can be used as a pot for food.
