BOTTLE WARMERS

This is going to be a short topic. I think they are the biggest waste of money, dangerous and overall unnecessary. It's a huge scam; spend $60 on a bottle warmer, another $30 on a nightside bottle warmer, $20 on a travel one, another $20 for one in the car. RIP OFF.

First of all, if you don't warm the bottle from the start, that kid doesn't know what he is missing. Second, they can often overhead the bottle not only damaging the bottle, posing a potential burn to your child, but they can destroy the nutritional content of the formula or breast milk. My suggestion, for formula, use room temperature water to mix. For breast milk, I would run the bottle under hot water for 30 seconds just until the separated milk would come back together. For refrigerated formula I felt it refreshingly cold and the munchkin was never the wiser. If you baby has a hard time digesting formula, it can help her digestion to have warmed milk. Again run the bottle under hot water for 30 seconds and that does the trick.
