Portable bottle warmers are a handy tool for any mum on-the-go. But first, let’s talk about warming breast milk or formula, and if it’s really necessary to have a baby bottle warmer.

How Do I Warm My Baby’s Bottle?

It’s not absolutely necessary to always warm your baby’s bottle as fresh breast milk is always served at body temperature (or close to 37ºC). However, while some babies don’t mind cold milk or milk served at room temperature it does makes sense to warm it up.

Investing in a portable bottle warmer is probably the easiest option, but what did we do before we had access to these gadgets?

Before you go putting on that kettle, or boiling water on the stove, think about it. Does your baby’s bottle need to be piping hot? The answer is a definite NO! Your baby’s bottle needs to be warm, not hot. Whether you are heating breast milk or formula the method should be the same. Place your bottle in a container of warm water for no more than 15 minutes. Any longer and bacteria can develop.

The water temperature should be hot enough to warm the bottle, but cool enough to handle. You can even use water from the hot water tap. There’s no need to hover over a stove in the middle of the night.

Once you think your baby’s bottle is warm enough give it a quick shake to disperse the heat evenly. Always test the temperature of the milk or formula before giving it to your baby. A baby’s digestive system is very sensitive and you don’t want to risk an accidental burn. Test the temperature by squirting a few drops onto your inner wrist. The skin here is thin and very sensitive. The milk should feel warm and not hot.

So Why Do I Need A Portable Baby Bottle Warmer?

While the traditional method is safe and reliable, it is not very mobile. So what do you use as a baby milk warmer when you don’t have access to bowls, pots and warm water? Here at Cherub Baby, we have a number of products to help make your life easier, especially for mum’s on-the-go.

What Can I Heat In A Baby Bottle Warmer?

Both of our models of portable bottle warmers come with adjustable sleeves so they will fit most major brands of bottles, breast milk bags, food pouches and jars.

Can I Use A Microwave As A Baby Milk Warmer?

Never heat up your baby’s bottle in the microwave! Microwaves don’t heat up food evenly and can cause hot spots. Have you ever heated up your dinner in the microwave? You think it’s piping hot only to find that most of your meal is still cold. Well, the reverse is possible with your baby’s bottle; it feels warm but there could be hot spots that can burn your baby’s mouth. Plus the intense heat of a microwave can destroy nutrients in the milk, or cause chemicals from plastic bottles, like BPA, to leak into your baby’s food,
