About this deal

While there’s lots to love here, we found that this warmer is particularly sensitive to the type of bottle your milk is in. Whereas 3 ounces of milk in a silicone bottle reached a temperature of 97.8 degrees in four minutes, that same amount reached 108 degrees in the plastic bottle. For breastfed babies, this means the milk is losing nutrients in plastic containers, and 108 degrees is on the edge of being too hot to consume for any baby with any liquid. This just means you’ll have to pay close attention when first using this warmer to find the right amount of time for your particular needs. For its very reasonable price, we think you can handle that little bit of trial and error. Ebony Barrett, PNP, NNP-BC,neonatology nurse practitioner at NYU-Langone Health, was in the lab during our test to help evaluate the safety of each product, particularly the temperature of the milk we heated.

So, what about microwaves? Well, the American Academy of Pediatrics specifically says that microwave warming is a no-go. That’s because while the bottle may feel cool after nuking it, the liquid inside can actually be really hot. And it heats liquid as unevenly as that frozen meal you made for lunch; one part is tongue-burning hot while the next still has ice crystals. Plus, the composition of breast milk in particular may change if it’s warmed up too much.

An alarm. It can be handy to have an alarm that sounds when the bottle has reached the right temperature. Feeding a baby on the go is an art. So, if you need to give your baby a bottle of formula or prefer not to nurse in public, having a bottle ready to go is critical. The Baby’s Brew Portable Bottle Warmer Pro is a TSA-friendly option you can take anywhere and use to keep little bellies filled. Whether you're warming or thawing breast milk or heating prepared baby formula or baby food, a bottle warmer is a huge time saver! The minor problem with the build quality of this warmer is that a little bit of the reservoir water leaks out every time you fill it because you’ll need to place the opening upside down to put it into the warmer.

The Philips AVENT Bottle Warmer works much like the Dr. Brown version above. It uses water to heat the bottle from the outside, which preserves the quality of the milk or formula. Overheating can cause nutrients to break down, so this slow heating is a good choice if you worry about that kind of thing. Under the faucet. Warm your bottle by holding it under warm-to-hot running water and rotating it around to reach all sides for roughly two minutes. Using warm faucet water is especially great for defrosting frozen breast milk. Do not microwave breast milk or formula. Instead, always use a bottle warmer or run the bottle under warm water to ensure the milk is heated evenly all the way through without any hot spots If you’ve ever tried to road trip with a baby, you know how useful a portable bottle warmer can be. Baby needs to eat on the go, too, and having a travel-ready warmer is a must if your little one is mostly bottle-fed or if nursing on the go feels too complicated whether you’re just on a day trip or on the plane. Beaba has built up a following with its bottle warmer thanks to its ability to accommodate a range of bottle sizes. Whether you have several at home or aren’t sure which type your little one will settle on, this is a good option to have handy. The Beaba warmer heats all bottles in about two minutes and features an air-tight lid to help keep your bottle warm for those moments when you can’t grab it ASAP. It also doubles as a sterilizer and baby food warmer. And—this is a nice perk—the warmer is compact, so it won’t hog your counter space.Wet glass is slippery, so when warming glass bottles, use a firm grip. We recommend warming your glass bottles with the Dr. Brown’s 100% Silicone Glass Bottle Sleeves attached, to help protect the glass. Again, remove the internal parts before warming. More than ever, moms are looking for baby products and gear that are compatible with other brands. We’re not always crazy about every product a company puts out, so we might like the bottles offered by one company and the warmer made by another company. But if those bottles can fit into a warmer made by a different company, we’re happy campers. It saves us time, money and aggravation. Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer is compatible with other brands of bottles to an extent. Most standard sized bottles will fit into the warmer, even if they are made by another company. The compatibility ends, however, when it comes to the wide-mouthed bottles that are becoming popular, especially among moms who like them because they more closely mimic the experience of breastfeeding for babies. On the bottle warming side, this device offers pre-programmed warming settings for various bottle types and sizes to help deliver the proper temperature. There’s a memory button that uses your last setting to speed up the bottle prep routine. A large water reservoir keeps you from having to measure out an exact amount of water for each bottle. Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer is safe for baby food because it uses plastic materials that are BPA-free. However, there are complaints that the reservoir leaks a bit every time you fill it in.

Size and design. How big are the bottles you use and how many do you want to heat at the same time? Also, do you have big space to store it or are you looking for something more compact? The size and the design of the bottle warmer is another thing to think about.Other functions. Some bottle warmers can sterilize bottles and bottle nipples; others can also defrost breast milk, or warm baby food. You may want to look at a few functions like these when shopping for a bottle warmer. The beeping system after heating helps me the most. As I can work without standing and waiting. This lessens my tension. I can hear it even from a distance. But Take Note: Milk got a little too hot in our plastic bottle test, so you’ll need to monitor heating time closely at first. Compared to the amount you’ll pay for it, Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer will save you a lot of stress. Build and Quality Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Travel Baby Bottle Warmer: This is a travel-friendly option that doesn’t require any setup and is compatible with most bottle brands. But it is actually more like a Thermos than a heater—the water needs to be heated in a separate step before you leave the house.

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. Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer is very easy to operate. It is an excellent fit for tired moms who don’t have the time to follow difficult instructions. 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.

The only thing that bothers me is the cleaning process. The cleaning process is a little bit time-consuming. It needs to be cleaned regularly by unscrewing two parts which takes time. The cleaning process should be as efficient as the warming and other sterilization processes”. You will need rice, distilled white vinegar, and dish soap to clean Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer. This is how to do it: 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
