Bottle Warmers

So do you need to buy a bottle warmer? Did your parents use one or did they just put the bottle under their armpit for a few minutes? That doesn’t sound too glamorous but in reality when manufacturer’s talk about heating to the ‘right temperature’ they mean 37’C which is about your body temperature and what baby is used to receiving Mummy’s milk naturally at! If you’re not keen on the old fashioned way we have some great gadgets from Tommee Tippee, Philips Avent, Beaba and Baby Chef that warm feeds evenly to body temperature. It is not recommended that you use a microwave for baby feed with authorities warning that they can create heat spots that could scold baby and also destroy vital nutrient value. The type that you go for might reflect your daily routine, needs and budget. For example Tommee Tippee has both a portable bottle warmer (no plugs) and an electric one for use in the home for both milk and food. Philips Avent have two options with the higher price point model being more technology led needing less input from you on heating time. We also have a unique gentle ‘steam warming’ system by Dr Brown that contains an adjustable internal basket to heat different sized bottles. Particularly useful if you have more than one child or want to heat feed and food together is the Double Duty bottle warmer by Baby Chef that has 2 stations within it achieving double output in the same time. Our most expensive model is by the stylish French brand Beaba that not only heats and sterilisers bottles but also make a body temperature feed in just 30secs at the touch of a button! Each of our models offers various benefits, uses and of course price points so please have a read and find the one that suits you best.
