Visited the Baby Show in Birmingham, one of the fun things you get to do as the CBO (chief baby officer), loads of new products in the market, and soon,Stephen, our Baby Gear Aficionado is going to up load some reviews to the site.

I was more interested in looking into all the small gadget people invent around the baby industry. We are passionate about our children, and I think a lot of people, through the process of being a parent are coming up with different business ideas, I know I came up with one, this website.

For me, the coolest device I saw was this formula dispenser, still to be distributed in the UK. I always got confused when counting the spoons, preparing the bottles or filling the divider, and further more, always felt like a drug dealer, cutting up the cocaine for distribution (always thinking of Ray Liotta in “Goodfellas”). so here come this device, similar to the kind you see in coffee shop, where they use to dispense the coffee into the espresso machines. you simply decide how much formula you want to prepare and the machine dispense the correct amount. very handy, no more recounting of spoons and so on.

Wait, it gets better, Babywell, an Australian company (was not the show) have taken it one step further, they have created the ultimate “baby milk” espresso machine! Not only that it dispense the correct amount of formula powder and prepares the milk with the correct amount of bioled water, it is also a sterilizer for bottles and breast pump and a dispenser of clean boiled water, amazing! too bad it won’t feed the baby as well in the middle of the night.

I don’t if they plan to bring it to the UK, but if and when we are having another baby this is one gadget I am going to get.
