Meet your new middle-of-the-night hero: The Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep®Bottle Feed Maker

Let’s face it, life with a newborn is a lot. Between the endless nappies, the zombie-level sleep and the constant chorus of tiny cries, feeding your baby becomes a round-the-clock mission. So, when something comes along that actually makes feeding easier? We’re all ears (and probably holding a bottle in one hand, and a baby with the other).

That’s where the Perfect Prep® from Tommee Tippee comes in. This clever bit of kit whips up a bottle of formula in just 90 seconds*, faster than you can boil a kettle and with none of the faff. You can prepare a bottle with one button press, and then you’re on your way to a calm, content baby (and maybe even a warm cuppa for yourself, if you're lucky).

It starts with a patented hot shot that kills bacteria in formula. followed by a top-up of cool water to get the temperature just right. No boiling, no waiting, no guesswork. Just a bottle that’s safe, warm and ready to go.

Perfect Prep® even comes with a antibacterial filter that’s as effective as boiling water, minus the steam and stress. And for those 3am wake-up calls, the machine’s quiet dispense and soft-glow lights mean no jarring brightness or kitchen clatter.

Tommee Tippee has been trusted by parents in the UK (and across the world) since the '60s, and it shows. The Perfect Prep® is the result of decades of baby tech know-how, all wrapped up in one sleek, sleepy-parent-friendly package. Because when you’re running on fumes and cuddles, every second counts, and this little lifesaver gives you back just enough time to breathe (or sneak in a biscuit).

What’s special about the new Perfect Prep® design?

Perfect Prep® has been on the market since 2013 but now has a stylish new design that’s made to fit seamlessly into your kitchen décor.

It’s now more elegant, as well as effortlessly making baby feeds easier and quicker. The design details are subtle and sleek, with an easy-to-use LED touchscreen, and soft lighting to go easy on you in the middle of the night.

The integrated app now allows you to easily order new filters, work through instructions and set-up, cleaning, and descaling, all from your phone.
