Bottle warmer

I know you can't microwave breast milk, but can you use a bottle warmer?

TIA

Re: Bottle warmer

  • I don't see why not.

    Honestly, I wouldn't bother, though. Hot water from the tap or a shallow pan of water on the stove works fine. At DD's daycare, they used a crockpot to heat up lots of bottles at once.

  • You can definitely use a bottle warmer.

    You can also put a cup of hot water in the microwave, and dunk the bottle into it to warm it.

  • I know tons of women will say they didn't need a bottle warmer but my Nuk warmer, warmed bottles of milk to room temp in 30 seconds with less than an ounce of water. I love mine and it has gotten tons of use and is consistent and I found it for like $1

  • I always boil a cup in the microwave and then put the bottle in. After letting the bottle sit in there for a little bit I test the temp of the milk/formula on my wrist. Once it feels room temp then I give it to the baby.

    It is the same thing rea

  • I have a bottle warmer, I don't even use it.  Go with just putting it in warm water for a few minutes - that's what the nurses did in the NICU with DS, and I've continued it at home
