After weeks of trying to get DD to take a bottle, I finally had good luck with the Lansinoh mOmma bottles. It has been working well, however, it takes forever for our water to heat up so I feel like I am wasting a ton of water; and I would also like to make things easier for DH by getting a bottle warmer. However, because of the shape...I don't think it will fit in a normal warmer. Has anyone had any luck finding a bottle warmer for the mOmma bottles?
Yes, I know that I could just warm up the BM in something else or another bottle...but I already have these bottles and would like the least steps as possible for DH. Any help is appreciated

Our daycare uses a small crockpot that they just keep warm water in all day. I think I'd be nervous to keep it going overnight because of the risk of fire though. So if you need it during that time, that might not be a good option.
I dont know about the different shapes of bottle warmers, but I would recommend an electric kettle as well. It boils the water so quickly and when I use it in a large mug/cup for my nephews bottles it seems to work in 5 min or so (maybe its longer, I've never really timed it)
I microwaved some water for 1 in bowl and then set the bottle in the water for less than a minute for my husband to feed. It worked well. It got warm quick. He would swirl the bottle of BM before serving to make sure that it was evenly heated and tested the temp.
Unfortunately DD won't even take it room temp...so unless she becomes less picky we will have to warm it.
These are all great ideas! I am going to try them and see what works best/is easiest. We already have a small crock pot too! Thanks ladies!!

Another option is to get something like this:

Then you just warm up water when you need it, pour into a bowl, and put your bottle in!
