Overheating formula on the stove is not uncommon - especially if you're easily distracted. This can lead to nutrient loss and wasted infant formula. Sometimes parents can forget they're heating bottles on the stove altogether and accidentally melt the baby bottle, ruin a perfectly good pan, or worse, set the entire kitchen on fire. Either way it goes, it'll cost you money to replace the destroyed items.
Although parents do it all the time, using the microwave to heat a baby bottle is a big no, no. The uneven heating methods of a microwave can cause hot spots and lead to the accidental scalding of your baby's mouth.
Another method for heating infant formula is to run hot water over the bottle - this is great if you have all day to wait. Maybe you don't mind, but babies aren't exactly known for their patience. Investing in a portable baby bottle warmer is not only convenient; it can save you unnecessary hassle.
Manufacturers of portable baby bottle warmers realize the lifestyles of parents differ greatly. And they celebrate these differences by offering a wide variety of portable baby bottle warmers to accommodate any way of life.
Battery operated bottle warmers can be used in any room in the home. They're especially ideal to keep in the bedroom or nursery to accommodate your baby's late night feeding schedule. Battery operated portable bottle warmers are convenient to use outdoors, for overnight hotel stays, or when electricity is not available such as during power outages.
Portable bottle warmer styles that plug directly into the cigarette lighter of your car are ideal for road trips with infants. Fitted bottle insulators stretch over baby' bottle to keep the temperature of infant formula stable. Some bottle warmers use reusable heat packs that can be warmed in the microwave and placed in an insulated bag. Portable bottle warmers can also double as baby food warmers, allowing you to get a little more use out of them.
Portable bottle warmers are convenient, lightweight, affordable and available to fit any lifestyle. If you're the proud parent of an infant, having a portable bottle warmer to use at home, during travel, or when you're out and about makes perfect sense.
