  • 1.  Has anyone used a Baby Brezza for KMR?

    Posted 04-18-2025 09:22 AM

    Our shelter has a "kitten counter" where bottle fed kittens are monitored prior to going out to foster homes. Staff and volunteers use timers and charts to track each litters' feeding schedule. One of the biggest challenges of this area is getting kitten formula (usually KMR or Breeder's Edge) warm and prepared quickly for the numerous litters on the counter. 

    As a mom of human babies I used a Baby Brezza to create quick formula for crying twin infants. Just curious if anyone has used one of these formula mixer in a shelter setting?

    We haven't used them before, usually we mix up formula in those shaker bottles and we use bottle warmers to heat up our formula

    I've seen some discussions about using the Baby Brezza for kitten formula, and it seems like a good idea in theory. The device can help streamline the process by quickly preparing and warming formula. However, you'll need to ensure it's thoroughly cleaned between uses to prevent cross-contamination, especially in a shelter setting. It might also be worth checking if the Brezza's measurements align with the specific formula ratios you need. If you decide to try it, monitoring the kittens' reactions and health closely will be essential to ensure it meets their nutritional needs.

    I just Googled it because I had not heard of it. The first thing that came up was a lawsuit that it isn't providing adequate nutrition to babies, so maybe they have a few kinks to work out first.
