Which baby bottle warmers are best?
Whether you’re feeding formula or pumped breast milk, feeding time can be more complicated than you’d like if your baby will only accept warm bottles. Baby bottle warmers quickly warm milk in bottles to the perfect temperature, which keeps babies happy and means caregivers don’t need to worry about over-heating the milk.
Looking after a baby is hard work, so any gadget that can make your life easier is worth an investment. Luckily, there are plenty of baby bottle warmers to choose from, so you’ll be able to find one that best suits your needs.
What are baby bottle warmers?
Baby bottle warmers are simple devices used to heat bottles, though many can also heat baby food containers. Most hold just one bottle at a time, but you can find some that simultaneously warm two bottles, which is excellent if you have twins or if you want to warm a bottle and some baby food at the same time.

It might not be a bottle warmer in the conventional sense, but it allows parents to quickly and easily make bottles of the perfect temperature for their baby. Rather than heating bottles up, it instantly dispenses water at either room temperature, body temperature or slightly warmer than body temperature. This means it’s ideal for formula but isn’t suitable for warming pumped breast milk or jars of baby food.
