Bottle warmers are a handy little device to have in the kitchen, nursery, or car. They allow you to quickly heat baby bottles or jars of food without the use of a microwave. This can be a healthy heating option as microwaving tends to remove many of the vital nutrients in food items. It also makes the job of nighttime feedings much easier, and portable models can give you and your baby the freedom to travel whenever you like. There are many different models to choose from, and you will find a variety of special features available. Use the following information to help pick the right one.
Tips for Choosing a Bottle Warmer
• Decide when and where you will use your warmer. Most are designed for use in the home, but you can find ones that plug into your car’s adapter.
• Think about what you will be using the warmer for. Baskets come with many brands that allow you to heat baby food, sippy cups, and sterilize pacifiers.
• If you have a nursery that is located far from the kitchen, a bottle warmer that serves double duty as a cooler can be quite convenient.
• Make sure the model you pick will accommodate the brand and size of bottles you use.
