I had the tommee tippee ones too, i used them up untill she was on 5oz as they wouldnt hold more than that, i didnt have any problems with them. Ive not got one of the round ones that holds up to 3 lots... you can get them from any chemist i think xx

i found the ones that stack on top of each other the best tbh, our's were from mothercare and i still use them, you get three feeds in them. we did have the avent one like this https://www.mothercare.com/Avent-Mo...ing=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=44556031&mcb=core but i found the formula went into the different sections, i couldn't find the one we use on the mothercare website, but this is what i mean

I really dislike the advent one, powder goes everywhere.
I use the TT ones, think theyre great. I can get 7 scoops in, doubt I'll get anymore in though.

I think i'm a bit obsessed with milk powder dispensers!! I have LOADS!
I've got the Tommee Tippee ones, an Avent one and Mothercare's own make ones too. I found the Avent one to be the best as the powder comes out really easily. You can fit 3 x 7oz measures of formula in each compartment.
The Mothercare ones -again, you can fit 3 x 7oz measures of formula in each compartment. However, you really have to bang it on the side of the bottle to get every last bit of powder out.
Tommee Tippee ones are good... but as they're individual, they get lost at the bottom of your bag! I'm also worried about the tops coming off them. You're meant to put them inside the actual bottle with the water, but as that means having to steralise them, I don't bother.
Personally, I love milk powder dispensers as they're so convenient. I measure the formula out at night for the night/next day and it's so much quicker just pouring it in than messing about with scoops when your baby is waiting, or at night when you're up at 4am making bottles up! I use them when i'm at home and when i'm out and about. I also have to provide measured amounts of formula to Harry's nursery, so obviously have to use them then.

I use the Avent one and one i got as a gift from the USA....i must say the one i got from the US is better but for the simple reason it's only got the base and lid...whereas the avent has the base, insert and lid so an extra bit to clean. Otherwise it's ok.
I've also seen a boots one that looks similar to the avent and i think it looks ok.

I can get 8 scoops in the TT ones! I just press the powder down with the back of the scoop.
I bought Tommee Tippee ones but I don't like them. I put 4 oz in each one so I know that two is enough for one bottle.
My friend bought a great one in Poundland but they don't have them in our shop now. It's like a bowl but split into six sections and the lid opens on each section. She can easily fit 8 ounces of powder into each section, probably could fit twice that, and it's secure, easy to clean and easy to tip the powder in and out of.
I really want one so I've been stalking Poundland in the hope they will get a few more in.
