Tommee Tippee GoPrep Portable Formula Feed Maker Kit

Preparing a fresh formula feed away from home usually means tracking down boiling water and then waiting for it to cool to a safe feeding temperature — a lot to manage with a hungry baby in your arms. The Tommee Tippee GoPrep Portable Formula Feed Maker Kit is a portable formula prep set built around two flasks that work together, so you can make up a fresh feed while you're out in around two minutes.*

The hot flask stores boiling water for when you leave the house, while the innovative cool flask brings the made-up feed down to temperature quickly. A digital LED lid with a colour-coded Tommee Tippee star reads the temperature for you at each step: it turns red when the water in the hot flask is hot enough to make a feed, and blue on the cool flask once the feed has reached the right temperature to transfer into a clean, sterile baby bottle. The GoPrep flasks and milk powder dispensers are BPA free, and a cleaning brush is included to help you keep every part clean.

A portable companion to the Perfect Prep Machine

Tommee Tippee describes the GoPrep Kit as a little companion to its Perfect Prep Machine — a way to carry that same fresh-feed routine out of the house. It's designed to follow NHS guidelines for making up formula: a feed is made with hot water and then cooled to a comfortable temperature for your baby. The kit also includes two milk powder dispensers that each hold up to eight scoops (8oz) of formula, so you can measure out doses at home and carry them dry until you're ready. Each dispenser sits neatly in the neck of any 260ml or 150ml Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature baby bottle.

How to use it

1. Fill the hot flask with boiling water and take it with you when you leave home.
2. Measure out the correct amount of formula powder as per your formula's instructions and store it in the milk powder dispenser until you need it.
3. When it's time to feed, attach the digital lid to the hot flask and tilt it sideways for at least 5 seconds — the star should turn red to show the water is hot enough to make a feed.
4. Pour the hot water into the cool flask, using the graduation marks inside for an accurate measure.
5. Add the measured formula powder to match the amount of water, following your formula's guidelines.
6. Secure the digital lid onto the cool flask, check it's properly assembled, and shake well to mix and start the cooling process.
7. To check progress, tilt the cool flask sideways for at least 5 seconds so the milk touches the lid — a blue star means the feed is ready. Do not dispense the feed before 2 minutes.
8. Pour the cooled formula into a clean, sterile baby bottle and follow your usual bottle-feeding routine.
9. Always check the temperature of the feed before giving it to your baby, and use it immediately after it's prepared.

Cleaning and care

The flasks are safe for steam and cold-water sterilisation and can go in the dishwasher, while the digital LED lid is safe for cold-water sterilisation only. When filled to the max level, the hot flask keeps water hot enough for use for up to 4 hours, which is worth keeping in mind when you plan how long you'll be out.

Best For

The Tommee Tippee GoPrep Portable Formula Feed Maker Kit is a great option for parents who:

• Formula feed and want to make up fresh feeds while out and about without hunting for hot water on the day
• Prefer a clear temperature cue rather than guessing when a feed is cool enough
• Already use Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature 260ml or 150ml bottles

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Are expressing and need to warm breastmilk — the GoPrep is designed for formula preparation, and a different warming solution would suit that better

Pandylane Pro Tip

Pandylane Pro Tip: Fill the hot flask right to the max level before you head out — that's the level Tommee Tippee bases the 4-hour hot-water window on, so you've got the longest possible window to make a feed while you're away from home.

Disclaimer

Powdered infant formula is not sterile. Always prepare feeds according to your formula's exact label directions and your healthcare provider's guidance, use clean and sterilised equipment, and check the temperature of every feed before giving it to your baby. Prepared feeds should be used immediately.
