Although, it is not dishwasher safe. Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer vs. othersIf 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. The last thing you need when your baby is wailing is a complicated bottle warmer. The Philips Avent bottle warmer streamlines the process by giving you a big button to push and a familiar dial knob that you can rotate to the correct temperature setting. It aims to heat 5 ounces of milk in about three minutes. If you’re in the middle of a diaper change or some other baby task, this warmer will keep the bottle heated to the right temperature for up to an hour. The wide mouth of the warmer means it can accommodate chunkier bottles, as well as food pouches and baby jars.

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 After researching the market and gathering information from experts and parents, the Philips Avent Fast Baby Bottle Warmer is my top recommendation." -ChatGPT-4 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.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.

Be prepared for a little trial and error to get the temperature right, based on our experience with this product in the lab. You choose various bottle sizes on the screen, but it’s only preset to even numbered quantities, so if you want to warm 3 ounces of milk or formula(which was our testing standard), you’ll have to subtract from the 4-ounce setting or add to the 2-ounce option. That meant that at first, our refrigerated formula got a little too hot (106 degrees) after four minutes, and on the second try, it was less than the ideal temperature after two and a half minutes. In practice, that just means you’d get it just right after three feedings. You do also need to watch out for that steam heat, which real-world users shared can burn you when removing the warm bottle from the device if you’re not careful.

Travel Tips for Baby: Feeding on the Go

On the stove. Fill a pot with water at least the same height as the milk in your bottle. Warm the water on your stove top first, then place the bottle in the warmed water until the milk reaches near body temperature. Enter, wrist test. With the stove top method, you don’t want the water boiling. You want to dip your finger in and think longingly of bygone days filled with soothing bubble baths and you-time.
