@@Jim-yk9zw 💯 I’d love to hear about your experience with it!

@@TB-dm3ps That’s a great tip! Thank you so much for dropping a comment!

@@lz439 Generally, once you start to see white residue start to build up, then it might be a good time to do a cleaning cycle. For us, it’s been maybe once every 3 months? Hope this helps!

OK thanks! We have pretty hard water in Hawaii so that's helpful to know!

@@OrionSchumacher1995 From the FAQ section in their app, you have it use your credentials on your partners app. I can check to see if there is a different way planned by Huckleberry!

@@millicentatta-yeboah3389 completely agree! At least having this as an option and being educated about it can be helpful for new parents. For us, we just *assumed* that milk would magically appear on day 1 but it’s not always the case.

@@devinfairbank4606 Just my iPhone 13 Pro!

@@vickiekinner You’re so welcome! Hope it works well for you in case you get it!

I tested my milk temp with each as well and had almost identical results. My bottom bottle stays around 32 degrees all day long and my upper bottle stayed around 43 degrees at the 12 hour mark. My ceres was always in the 50 degree and above mark after 12 hours when I got home.

@@aliciagilmer6614 Thanks so much for including your thoughts! Especially as someone who has used both and can speak from that experience, I truly thank you for sharing your experiences!

@@yadirazambrano4488 You are certainly welcome to your opinion and thanks for taking a moment to leave your thoughts! From a sponsorship perspective, I think it’ll be helpful to clarify that they just sent me a product to review and according to TH-cam, I have to disclose that. So, the insinuation you’re making that I am biased towards it because of a monetary reason is false. It’s not worth my integrity. By the way, if you take a look at the “non-5 star” reviews, you’ll see that my experience isn’t unique to me. I just published my results because I think it’s important for people to recognize what they might be getting. I stand by these results. Out of genuine curiosity, when you use the product, did you replenish the ice in the cooler more than once or did you just fill it up with ice at the beginning of the day? Also, did you freeze the innertube with water to maximize the cooling effect like I’ve seen other people do with the Ceres product? Thanks for stopping by!

@@JillianWhitlow Thanks for your comments and sharing your experience! As I mentioned, my experiment was conducted using the exact instructions from Ceres’ manual. Out of curiosity, did you ever have to refill the bottle with ice while you were out for 12 hours or did you happen to freeze the inner tube with water before heading out to maximize the ice? I’ve seen many people use this method to extend/maximize the cooling effect on the Ceres chiller. Given my experience with the Ceres chiller and its performance in room temperature environment, I, personally, would have very low confidence that it would stay below 50F in triple digit temps for an extended period of time. To be fair, I don’t know is the Momcozy would also be able to handle triple digit temps either! Texas gets hot 🥵 I am not questioning your experience or the validity of your statements - I am respectfully saying that based on my experience, I would feel safe using the Ceres chill in those conditions only if I was able to refill it with ice periodically. Also, if you’re interested, feel free to take a look at some of the non-5 star ratings of the Ceres chiller product on Amazon and see what other people have said. My experience is not unique unfortunately. You are obviously welcome to question the experiment I conducted. I can only say that I showed the exact setup and process and I can also provide you with the raw data if you’d like to look at it! Have a great rest of your day!

@@Thunderbussie123 Thanks so much for sharing! That seems to be the what most people do. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!

@@cereschill Thank you for responding! While I understand that this transparent empirical evaluation of your product may not support what you have tested, I stand by these test results. I welcome any constructive suggestions for improving the test protocol. Also, if you’d be willing to conduct the same test with the same 2 products and share those results as I have, I’d gladly review them and see if there’s anything I might adjust!

@@cereschill Quick update, I’ve taken you up on your offer and I’ve reached out to you at the email address above and I genuinely hope we can discuss this topic further! Looking forward to hearing from you.

@@DadLifePGH Thanks! Already signed up for the giveaway. Can you do a video on must have gears when traveling with a baby? Like is there a travel bottle sterilizer?

@@glen0630 sure can!

@@Speedtease13 I can appreciate that you may want to listen to this person, however, I was very transparent with the testing and all the results - so it’s up to you what you choose to do! I would be curious to know if this person at the lab did any testing herself around the Ceres product and if her opinions are based on any empirical testing or if it is based on their trust of Ceres' claims. It would be interesting to hear their thoughts after watching this analysis. Either way, thanks for taking the time to add a comment!

@@ThanhHuynh-rd8wk i’ve also encountered this issue before. You can try one of these 2 options: 1) Mix white vinegar and Purified water in a 1:2 ratio to make a 250 mLsolution. Pour it directly into the water tank and start the quick wash cycle. So basically, about 85 mL of Vinegar and 165 mL of water. 2) Add 5-10 ml of white vinegar directly into the inner chamber for washing. (This can be done occasionally, about 1-2 times, as frequent use might cause corrosion.)

@@Miriam-r2e I usually fill it with cold, filtered water but it shouldn’t matter!

@@pepperoni8 oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about your experience with the Baby Brezza formula maker. I haven’t experienced a blown fuse yet but that’s obviously not good. I’d love to hear how you find the Momcozy washer once you try it out!

@@DadLifePGHI've gone through 3 formula pros. Each one had the same failure. I've gotten pretty good at repairing them actually. Will definitely try the mom cozy. I've been eyeing that one came to TH-cam to see if I can find a size comparison with the brezza. Thanks for posting your video!

@@Ashhong1 I really appreciate the time you took to respond and I’m truly looking forward to your thoughts around the Momcozy product since you will have tried both out! The “weird” vs “smart” framing is primarily from a design and engineering perspective - will be interested to see what you think. Re: short and long tubes - I was following the recommendations from Baby Brezza in terms of what they claim gives the best results andI agree with you that you *could* probably get away with just using the long stem for everything - but then it begs the question why Baby Brezza included both sizes? 🤔😅 My best guess is that from their product testing, they concluded that the shorter stem gives better results for shorter bottles so they needed to design it with multiple stems. Thanks again for your thoughts!

@@DadLifePGH hey just thought I’d come back with my experience and to see what you thought Overall I really do like the Momcozy. It’s way easier to fit a lot more items due to it being encased by the unit itself instead of fully open like the Brezza. It seems to clean about the same (leaves a thin chalky film on my items similar to the Brezza, I think it’s my hard water) I hate not having a waste bucket and really think they should find a way to add one in the next revision. Just make it a bit longer like the Brezza. It’s a huge convenience that is missing. I ended up buying a 3Q container and routing the hose into it and that works ok. The screen and functions ended up being a bit more confusing if I’m being honest, despite the clear buttons. Brezza allows you to select each permutation of wash, steam, dry and updates the time it’ll take. Momcozy doesn’t show the total time, and I can’t even select dry so I guess that is just automatic? I wish I could run just a wash cycle, open it up, add items, and sterilize, but if I select just wash, it will drain the entire water bucket and I need to refill. And then the sterilize feature drains another full bucket, which seems wasteful. Curious to hear if you know what I mean. It seems a bit wasteful on water and makes the machine a bit more restrictive Oh one more thing, the min and max lines on the fill container are ridiculously close, and so close to the top that I have to tip toe to the machine and pray it doesn’t spill. The lid also seems to be warping or something as I see gaps after a few uses. Again, I really wish they would look at the Brezza for how they designed the containers.

@@Ashhong1 that is awesome feedback and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share these insights! Yes, 💯 on pretty much everything that you mentioned. I haven’t experienced the chalky residue yet on my end but it’s definitely a concern for people living in areas with “harder” water. I think since we settled on the Momcozy unit, we got used to not having the waste water tank but I can definitely understand that if you started with a waste water tank, then that would be something you’d grow to be accustomed to. Now that you bring it up, yes - the MC unit doesn’t show the full time. I think we usually just leave it after we set it to run because we have other things to take care of and haven’t noticed it. I will definitely share this feedback with MC and see if they can address your use case where you’d want to wash it, open it up, and sterilize in their next version. Our unit is almost always very full with parts so we haven’t had this need, but I certainly see how this could be useful if the unit wasn’t fully loaded up! As for the warping issue, I’ve noticed it ever so slightly on the top rim a bit but it hasn’t caused any sealing issues for me yet. Has it degraded the performance of the container for you? And yes - the min/max lines are definitely pretty close. I’ve overshot it a few times and it doesn’t seem to negatively impact anything so it’s probably not a huge concern - at least for me. I really love all your feedback, so thank you!🙏🏻

@@htbjudge7285 Great questions! Sometimes, both are on at the same time. For the air purifier: We usually have that running on “low”all day just to keep the sleeping clean. For the humidifier: 1) the Levoit one that we have has an “auto” feature where you can set a desired humidity level for the room and if it drops below that amount, the humidifier will automatically turn on until the room reaches that level. We use this feature the majority of the time. 2) If our child has a stuffy nose, then in addition to other remedies, we will usually turn on the humidifier when they are sleeping on “low” or “med” depending on how dry the room is so there is a constant flow of mist to keep the air moist which helps them breathe a bit easier and alleviate the stuffy nose symptoms while they are sleeping. This mode tends to use more water since it’s always on, so we usually use this mode only when they’re sleeping. Hope this helps!

Thankd a lot man !​@@DadLifePGH

@@htbjudge7285 💯 You’re welcome!

@@walmartman31 I appreciate it, and you! Will do - let me know of there’s anything you want to hear about!

@@ButteredFlied yes! 😆 this happened to us a lot which is where putting the safety “diaper” underneath is super helpful. There were times when we would go through 3 clean diapers during a single change because the baby would just keep 💩! You got this 💪🏻 it will become more predictable and manageable again soon.

@@htbjudge7285 first off- congratulations on your new baby, *dad*! So happy for you and your growing family 🙌🏻 These videos are exactly for new dads like you and if there’s ever anything you want to hear more about, please drop a note at any time! So glad you happened to bump into the channel!

Also if you ever get a chance to see a Snoo in action, the rocking motion is EXTREMELY gentle and CONSISTENT. I have seen way too many parents and grandparents swinging the baby or bobbing themselves up and down at dangerous (shaken baby syndrome) frequencies. Making silly puckering noises, walking without looking etc. You can VISIBLY see their stress increasing as the baby cries harder and they rock the baby harder. None of this is possible in a Snoo.

Last last comment. With regards to all the pricing nosense, here are some more tips: - never buy a Snoo, rent it. There are lots of places that rent it. - dont purchase any of the premium features. None of it is necessary. Lastly, there are 5 levels of rocking (Baseline - 1,2,3,4). We never rock it beyond Baseline and level1 period.

@@home-pd6qu Hi, thank you for your thorough response and for contributing! You obviously have a lot of thoughts about this and you have some valid points, thanks!

@@sherikream hm, I see that now as well. Sorry about this! I’m looking into this now and will let you know as soon as I have an update! In the meantime, it looks like the code works on the Papablic site in case you want to buy it from there.

@@DadLifePGHthe coupon code dadlife1 doesnt work again??

@@sherikream I’d say at 60 min everything was very dry. At 30 min, it was mostly dry with maybe a few drops of water depending on the shape of the part that the water was in. At 10 min, it was somewhat dry as you might expect.

@@sherikream great question! It is about 10.5” wide x 9.75” deep x 12.5” tall. These are approximate dimensions based on what I measured.

@@TurnTheRage yes, I agree about the quality of their products! They reached out to me after I started the channel and they could very well do the same! Can’t wait to check out your videos if you choose to do it!

@DadLifePGH great videos btw ! Very helpful for a first time dad like myself

@@TurnTheRage appreciate it! Truly, from one dad to another 👊🏻 Congrats on being a new dad!

@@ilufyoo Great question. Based on the recommendations of multiple pediatricians, having premixed formula will reduce any sort of unwanted bacteria, impurities in the water that you might be mixing formula with that might affect the babies maturing immune system, and it also avoids potential clumps in the formula if you mix it manually. This is general guidance and I would always recommend checking with your pediatrician for your specific needs!

@@simantverma8895 yes! 💯

@@ohMissLewis Great point! I haven’t experienced any limescale buildup yet on our machine since I’m using purified water straight from the tap as we have a filtration system under our kitchen sink. I definitely agree that using distilled water is painful! I reached out to Momcozy to get their thoughts on this, and they said that tapwater can be used and depending on the hardness of the water in your area you may get limescale buildup over time. But you can also use filtered water (i.e if you have a fridge that has a built-in filter) or reverse osmosis water. They also said that there is no risk to the machine from the limescale and you don’t need to take apart the entire machine as you mentioned. There are a few ways to remove the limescale safely. 1. You can remove all of the parts and wash them in the sink and then reattach everything. 2. It is suggested that typically using citric acid or white vinegar are two other ways to remove the limescale. Their team is also currently developing a Momcozy-branded limescale remover. 3. To use white vinegar for descaling, you can add 5-10ml of vinegar directly to the inner chamber during the wash cycle. Alternatively, you can mix 50ml of vinegar with 100ml of cold water and pour it into the water tank to run a cleaning cycle. If you still have your machine, maybe you can give us a try in case that helps? I believe most, if not all, baby bottle washers on the market recommend using distilled water or reverse osmosis water, so this issue will likely occur with any product you use. This descaling process will be helpful for anything that you end up using!

@@seyyedhafiz great question! Currently this is 120V but Momcozy has said they will come out with a 220V supply at some point (not sure when) and it will be available on Amazon. When it does come out, I’ll drop you a note so you can get it asap!

@@teraneer17 you’re so welcome and congrats on #1! If you choose to get it, I’d love to hear how you find it.

@@doronyf yes! Great thoughts! Re: secondary display - since the app can be shared with others - what we usually do is either use a spare device (old iPhone or iPad) and install the app on there and then people can see it there. You could also use an Alexa or Google assistant display unit to view the feed on there if you have any of those products. As you mentioned, we’ve also gone down the path and changed the password, then shared the app with a babysitter or family so they could log in from their own device and view the feed, then change the password back afterwards. Some other cameras like Wyze allow you to share the feed temporarily with other people so you don’t have to share login credentials with them, which is safer. I don’t know of a model that has a WiFi connection and a separate parent monitoring unit but maybe others might have some ideas! I’ll do some research and will let you know if I come across any. And thank you for letting me know about the broken link! I’ll get that fixed asap.
