Feeding Just Got Way Easier With These Bottle Warmers

Bottle warmers can really be a parent’s best friend. They’re a safe, easy, and quick way to heat your baby’s bottles. They’re also unobtrusive on your counter, and most are so affordable that you can actually have a few in your home.

As you can imagine, these products are designed to make your life easier, not harder. (If the bottle warmer is too complicated or takes too long, what’s the point?) They both streamline and standardize the milk-heating process, simplifying the routine for parents while also ensuring babies get the most optimally heated food and liquids at every feeding.

The Best Bottle Warmers

What to Consider

There are a few basic things you want to think about when buying a bottle warmer:

• Usage: Travel warmers are convenient, but they are pretty much one-trick ponies, and they can be pretty slow. If you’re using it at home, you just need to consider where it will be, if you’ll want to store it away, and how it looks, because aesthetics are important when you consider how much baby stuff accumulates in your home.

• Adjustability: Does it fit your preferred bottle, and can it adjust to fit a variety of sizes? We love a warmer that has a lot of adjustability, but not all warmers will fit all bottles — especially travel warmers. This is a huge consideration, especially if you use a non-traditional bottle shape.

• Extras: You’d be amazed at some of the extra features: timers, multiple temperature levels, bottle sanitizing, thawing functions, and even features that allow it to function as a perfectly-heated water kettle. It’s wild out here nowadays.

I chose each of these products by speaking with parents who use these bottle warmers and getting real, on-the-ground information about the best, most convenient, and easiest-to-use models that parents just can’t live without. And yes, they all use water in the base to heat the bottle evenly, so remember to clean them regularly!
