Save Your Time with the Right Bottle Warmer
The problem of heating baby food sooner or later confronts every parent of a baby. Let’s see what solutions exist.
Someone is faced with the need to warm up milk for the baby at the stage of introducing complementary foods, and someone even earlier, if the baby is artificially fed, or if you feed the baby with expressed and frozen milk.
In the last two cases, it is especially important to competently establish the process of bringing baby food to the desired temperature, because a hungry child will not lie silently and wait for his mother to figure out how to warm up food for him.
When heating baby food, two things are especially important: efficiency, that is, the food should be warmed up in a reasonable time (5-7 minutes), and safety – the baby should not get burned.
How can a baby’s food be warmed up?
Microwave heating. This method of heating gives a very quick result, but the risk of overheating is very high, and breast milk, as you know, should not be overheated. In addition, food is heated unevenly in a microwave oven – it may already be hot on the surface, and still cold at the bottom of the dish.
Water bath. There are two ways to heat baby food with a water bath. In the first case, boiling water is poured into a container with a baby bottle. And the second option is a classic water bath when you put a bottle of baby food in a bowl of water that is boiled on the stove. In both cases, it takes a long time to warm up the baby food.
Bottle warmer. The bottle warmer works on the principle of a water bath, that is, the bottle is also heated in water, however, unlike a classic water bath, the built-in thermostat does not allow the water to overheat or cool down. As a result, baby food heats up to the desired temperature and in a short time (up to 10 minutes, depending on the volume and consistency of food). The downside of this device is that it is designed specifically for bottles and jars with baby food, a wider container may not fit there. Warm baby food should be stirred and tasted before feeding your baby.
How to choose the right bottle warmer?
Most parents opt to use a bottle warmer. What should you look for when buying this device?
First of all, you need to decide what functions you need. For example, if you travel a lot with your baby in a car, then you should pay attention to models that work not only from the mains but also from a car cigarette lighter. If you are willing to overpay a little for accuracy, then digital baby food warmers are at your service, which allows you to set the heating temperature.
You should also pay attention to the size of the “glass” in which the bottle is placed, and make sure that the bottles and jars you have will fit there. In addition, see if the bottle warmer has an off button, the lack of one in some models, and, accordingly, the need to unplug the device from the outlet after each use, this is a big disadvantage.
