Kansas City mom relies on Baby Brezza. Then her baby gets sick and she alleges the machine was ‘unintentionally poisoning my daughter’

Wait 5 sec.

A Kansas City mom who relied on a Baby Brezza formula maker to prepare bottles for her three-month-old daughter claims the machine contributed to her baby’s worsening health. Layna Wells, who shares content on TikTok as @laynawells, reported in a video that her daughter, Stevie, had been in and out of the hospital and began losing weight despite drinking unusually large amounts of formula. She alleged that the formula maker was preparing bottles with too much water, leaving her daughter with diluted formula. She went on to spell out the horror of the situation, saying: “I have been unintentionally poisoning my three-month-old daughter for the past five weeks.” Wells explained that the Baby Brezza works much like a coffee machine, dispensing formula and water to prepare a bottle. She asserted she had been exclusively feeding Stevie formula for around five weeks after she could no longer produce breast milk. During that time, she noticed that her daughter was apparently losing weight even though she seemed to be drinking more than usual. Baby Brezzac and its past lawsuits According to Wells, Stevie was consuming around 50 ounces of formula per day and frequently urinating. The mother professed that she initially wondered whether her daughter had diabetes and reportedly had her tested, and the blood results indicated some issues. Stevie also underwent an EEG because of her history of neurological issues, but the results were normal. Wells said she discussed her concerns with Stevie’s doctor, who was apparently unfamiliar with the Baby Brezza at first. She purported that “he went and Googled it and ended up coming back fifteen minutes later, and showing us all the lawsuits about a Baby Brezza diluting the formula in baby bottles.” Wells isn’t the first mother to experience this issue with the baby milk. According to ClassAction.org, a proposed class action lawsuit has been filed against Baby Brezza over an alleged manufacturing defect that could dilute baby formula, leaving infants dangerously at risk of losing and/or failing to gain weight. It also claims that even when used correctly, the machine “produces bottles with unsafe formula-to-water ratios, which can be potentially life-threatening to infants.” Wells claimed Stevie gained 68 grams while receiving care at the hospital. She also expressed regret that she had not recognized the possible problem sooner, while emphasizing that she had not knowingly harmed her daughter. Earlier, an investigation by Consumer Reports found that the two Baby Brezza models they tested were “inconsistent and delivered inaccurate formula-to-water ratio measurements that were often below or above the 5 percent guidelines” suggested by Mark R. Corkins, a pediatric gastroenterologist. In response, Baby Brezza said they are confident that their “settings ensure the Formula Pro Advanced dispenses the proper formula to water ratio.” However, the manufacturers have not issued any statement addressing the current lawsuit.
