Best Bottle Warmers – Simple and Sturdy

Picking a good bottle warmer is important especially when you like to get out and about. However, it can be quite difficult to pick the most suitable one as what can be best for traveling can be bad for home use and vice versa. Finding the right bottle warmer for use normally begins with deciding on how you are going to use it. Different types of bottle warmers also tend to heat milk differently depending on the bottle warmer in use.

Some incorporate a system which uses steam where a tank is filled with water then the bottle is then placed in a cylinder and circulated with steam. This method can work for some warmers but end up creating hot spots on others. There is also the option of bottle warmers that submerge the bottle in hot water then the hot water begins to swirl around the bottle so as to give a more evenly heated bottle. Below is a look at some of the five best bottle warmers in 2016.

The First Years Quick Serve Bottle Warmer

Pro: Fast and convenient, heats bottle in 5 minutes
Con: Requires at least a 10 minute wait to use again

Quick Bottle Heating: Your baby wakes up in the middle of the night and starts crying out loud for his/her bottle. This compact Quick Serve Bottle Warmer works flawlessly to heat the bottle quickly and can work with disposables that are angled, straight, wide-necked, angled, or even. It also comes with measuring vials that helps to anticipate the duration of the warmth and an auto shut-off feature for more safety. You can also use it to conveniently warm a jar of baby food or sanitize up to two pacifiers in the basket included. However, its main set back is that if you don’t put the right amount of water required, you may end up boiling off all the water and getting cold milk and then you will have to wait ten minutes before using it again. It does its work flawlessly but might not be ideal for people who don’t take the time to make accurate measurements. It’s very cheap costing about $18 on local and online shops today.

Kiinde Kozii Breastmilk and Bottle Warmer

Pro: It accommodates Comotomo bottles
Con: Can take longer than usual

Simple and Sturdy: Kiinde Kozii bottle warmer is very easy to use, lightweight and has been made with excellent materials. It can heat all types of milk, whether its breast milk, glass formula bottle milk, or plastic milk filled bottles ensuring they are heated appropriately and without guesswork. It uses a technology that allows high speed warming while using: low temperature, nutrient safe water bath designed for breast milk, and a built in timer that eliminates the risk of overheating. This technology however brings in a flaw as it increases the time required to warm the milk to about 15 minutes. This can be quite long especially when you consider the fact that you have a crying baby who needs milk as soon as possible. The warmer is quite expensive, costing about $70, but if you are looking for a warmer that has been approved to pass all safety protocols, then it is well worth the price.
