bottle warmers 2 Years, 3 Months ago
The wife and I have been debating on the value of a bottle warmer. I think it would be nice to put a bottle in and not worry about it getting too hot. We're having twins and I think a couple bottle warmers could help out. Anyone with real world experience care to chime in?

Since we were through with breastfeeding by the time my wife went back to work, we were on formula when the temperature issue would have been important. At that point we were doing room temperature, so no warming was necessary.

If I had to choose something now, I'd not get a unitasker. I'd like to think that getting a temperature controller and an analog crock pot. Put the temperature sensor in the water and set it so that the heat comes on only when the temperature drops out of the range you want. The digital controller gives you a tolerance so it isn't cycling on and off constantly.

But that's just me. Temperature controllers can be very useful with old freezers and refrigerators. You'll only need a bottle warmer for a few months. May as well make it useful down the road.

Hmm, interesting point Ben, we're thinking of just using the hot water method as our midwife recommended it.

We never used a bottle warmer - if we store a bottle in the fridge, we use hot water from the tap to take the chill off, but we don't worry about necessarily getting it "warm."
