Product Information

Auto shutoff: No | Temperature display: No | Heat settings: N/A | Special features: No electricity or batteries, base fits in most vehicle cupholders | Type of heat: Water bath | Bottle compatibility: Fits most Parents who aren’t fond of being burned by steam warmers might want to look for a product like the Kiinde Kozii bottle warmer which uses a warm water bath to heat the milk. The tradeoff is that the Kiinde Kozii warmer takes longer to heat milk than the Dr. Brown one does. Anself 2 in 1 Portable Double Bottle Warmer While the ideal temperature for formula or breast milk is at or just below body temperature – 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit – that’s more of a guideline. Before you bust out the thermometer, consider the wrist method to test the temperature: just drop a couple dribbles from the bottle onto the inside of your wrist. If it feels cold, warm it up a little more; if it feels hot, let it cool. Bonus tip: after warming the bottle, swirl the contents around to ensure consistent temperature throughout.

You don’t need to be a genius to figure out how this one works. It does heat the bottle thoroughly and consistently. The electronic timer is a nice touch, so you’ll always know how much time is left on your bottle. How To Clean a Dr. Brown Bottle Warmer Whether or not you’ll use a bottle warmer also depends on your personal needs, your milk supply, and your baby. For many people, they’re not a necessity, so long as you understand the proper guidelines regarding how to warm milk properly. This warmer from Philips Avent heats bottles and baby food jars safely and evenly. It can heat a 5-ounce bottle in three minutes, and has a neon light that shows heating progress and when the milk or food is ready. An internal sensor detects the starting temperature of formula or breast milk and makes sure it doesn't get too hot. Parents appreciate the "keep warm" feature – once the bottle is heated, the Avent warmer automatically keeps it warm for an hour before shutting off. Using the microwave: If you learn one thing from this article, it should be never to use a microwave to heat up your baby’s bottle. This might be the single worst way to warm a bottle. The microwave doesn’t heat a bottle evenly – it leaves areas where the milk is too hot, which can burn your baby.We only recently got our hands on this Dr. Brown's baby bottle warmer for testing, and we were excited to give it a try. It's one of the few baby bottle warmers on the market that can fit the tall Dr. Brown's glass baby bottles (see our list of best baby bottles here!). Using an adjustable bottom basket, it can fit both those really tall and narrow bottles, but also wide mouth bottles, and even jars of baby food. In our testing, however, it couldn't fit some of the really fat bottles, like the Tommee Tippee or Comotomo. With a design a little like a Keurig, the Dr. Brown's has a small refillable water reservoir on the side that holds enough water for about 5-6 bottle warmings. That's a nice touch, allowing you to fill it up once every few days rather than having to fill and empty it every time you use it like some of the others that are lower down on this list. However, as we mentioned earlier, any bottle warmer with a reservoir system can be difficult to clean. In our testing, we found it to be super fast at warming bottles from the refrigerator or freezer. If you’re warming breast milk, make sure to choose one that maintains the integrity of the nutrients by not overheating or scalding the breastmilk.

This is another steam heat warmer that relies on an analog dial with five settings that correspond to time frames ranging from one to five minutes. You’ll like that this device is ready to use straight out of the box—no assembly required. In the lab, we were able to heat a 4-ounce bottle of milk to 104 degrees in just three and a half minutes. Some Pampers Parents said they wished this bottle warmer was easier to clean and that it had a bigger water tank so they didn’t need to change it as frequently.There are other great bottle warmers out there, but this is how Dr. Brown’s compares against some of them: Kiinde Kozii Bottle and Breast milk warmer We've been reviewing bottle warmers for over 10 years, and if we made our own, here is what it would look like: Why We Like It: With a battery life of up to 12 hours, precise temperature controls, support for both breast milk and formula, and compatibility with a wide range of bottles, this is a convenient choice for feeding on the go. Kinde Kozii bottle warmer uses a water bath to heat bottles and won’t burn you like steam warmers. This bottle warmer is safe for children, easy to clean, and has a consistent milk temperature.
