Is a bottle warmer necessary? I say YES!

We spent far too much time in the aisle of Babies R’ Us discussing if we needed a bottle warmer and if so, which one should we chose.  Our baby really only cries when she is hungry and doesn’t give us much of a warning when she is so we decided that having a warm bottle in minutes was worth the cost and the counter space.  We also freeze breast milk so having a warmer that could handle frozen milk in addition to refrigerated milk was high on the list.  In the end we chose Dr. Brown’s Bottle Warmer and it has been perfect!

This warmer is a steamer so there are no hot spots and it is small enough that we have traveled with it as well (just remember to empty the water).  It fits most bottles that we have tried too so you don’t need to have Dr. Brown bottles to use this warmer.  The only bottle that we have tried that will not fit is the Tommee Tippee.

If you are thinking of purchasing a warmer, I would highly recommend the Dr. Brown’s Bottle Warmer!  It seems to be in all the major baby stores (Babies R’ Us, Buy Buy Baby, etc.), mass merchants (Target, Walmart, etc.) and even the local boutique baby stores in Boston (Tadpole, Magic Beans, etc.)
