It can burn the baby’s mouth.” Similarly, leaving a bottle or storage bag of breast milk to thaw in a bath of too-hot water can also diminish the nutrients in it, so it’s best to let your milk thaw in the refrigerator and to bring it to a drinkable temperature without overheating it if you’re not using a bottle warmer.Kinde Kozii bottle warmer uses a water bath to heat bottles and won’t burn you like steam warmers.

Before you bust out the thermometer, consider the wrist method to test the temperature: just drop a couple dribbles from the bottle onto the inside of your wrist.

Bottles come in different shapes and sizes, so be sure your bottles will fit into the warmer you select. The Dr. Brown’s Deluxe Bottle Warmer comes with an adjustable basket, so it fits all Dr. Brown’s bottles and most other bottle brands.

The number of children: If you have one baby, it might not be necessary, but with twins or more, you’re likely to need one. Baby Bottle Sizes: Many bottle warmers tend to cater to the tall and narrow style of bottles. For instance, you can have a hard time fitting wide bottles (like a Tommee Tippee) into a Goloho bottle warmer, because the heating pot on the Goloho is just too narrow. So we suggest getting warmer that will fit a variety of bottle dimensions; you will find that sometimes it takes trying several baby bottles and nipples before finding the best one (see our baby bottle and nipple buying guide), so you want to have flexibility in which ones will fit your new bottle warmer.

Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer is compatible with other brands of bottles to an extent. Most standard sized bottles will fit into the warmer, even if they are made by another company. The compatibility ends, however, when it comes to the wide-mouthed bottles that are becoming popular, especially among moms who like them because they more closely mimic the experience of breastfeeding for babies.
