Baby Products Reviews of Night & Day Bottle Warmer
Customer Review: Not a necessary item, but nice for some!
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this anticipating my husbands on-call performances at night time with our second child (my first was up every 2 - 3 hours for a few months and Daddy got the midnight slot). However, as I am breastfeeding and occassionally pumping milk I thought we would use it for sure, once in a blue moon it turns out whenever I am leaving baby with Daddy and an expressed bottle of milk (which he can easily leave out for an hour before as its breastmilk/room temperature!) Our wee one only gets up once a night at 3am so I may as well do it and sleep later into the morning, we're all up at 6am anyway!
So, to conclude, not a necessary item for US and hardly used, perhaps formula feeding and more demanding babies would use it - as a shower gift it would be fine but don't bother spending extra yourself.
Customer Review: Cheaply made but serves it purpose for a while
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this product with my first child. It worked well for a while until the button you click to start the warmer popped out. I could still use it but constantly had to re-adjust the warmer button which was a huge pain. And you have to wipe the warmer out after every few uses. The inside turns brown and starts to smell if you don't. Also...the vile that you use to measure the water depending on what size botton you are warming needs to be gently hand washed. The numbers rubbed off completely on the side of the vial showing you how much water to use for your bottle to be warmed and I had to get a permanent marker and re-label it. All in all it is a decent product, easy to use as well but doesn't hold up for very long. I have twins on the way so I won't purchase this product again.Customer Review: Takes some getting used to but worth it!
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I bought this warmer soon after our son was born. We had some issues when we first started using it. We ended up boilng the formula! We figured out quickly though the key is getting the right amount of water in the unit. It takes a little effort in the beginning to find the correct water level for the number of ounces you are feeding, but after you get that down it warms consistantly to the same temperature. I highly recommend this warmer, but do suggest taking a little time during the day when you are not soooo sleep deprived to function to play around with the water levels until you are comfortable with the bottle temperature. Not all formulas or breastmilk heat the same so if you change like we had to do (4 times) you will have to adjust the water level again.Customer Review: Not worth the time or money
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this bottle warmer thinking "Oh I'm pregnant, it's on the list of must haves" so I bought it. First of all, If you don't have to climb up and downstairs to reach the kitchen, you don't need this. You can just use your microwave. Manufacturers suggest not doing so because they say the formula wont heat evenly. Well, thats nothing a little shake can't remedy. Just heat 10 seconds at a time. Second, it doesn't heat the bottle with the recommended water level. It's either to hot or not hot enough. Believe me, I had to run the bottle under cold water until finally I gave up on this product. What a waste. I do however use the ice pack that comes with it when I run out with the baby. It does help keep the formula cold inside an insulated bag of course.Customer Review: Most useful baby item we bought
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this warmer early on, when it became clear that formula supplementation was going to be a big part of our future.
Once we established how much water to add for each of our two sizes of bottles, the warmer worked consistently and quickly (about 2 minutes to heat; maybe a little longer if the bottle is very full). It's also easy to manipulate with one hand, especially if the vials are loaded with water beforehand. It's turned warming baby formula into a no-brainer, which is quite nice at 2:00 AM!
One caveat: The scale printed on the surface of the vials WILL wear off over time. I use a Sharpie permanent marker to draw the fill lines for our two sizes of bottles, and I have to redo it every four weeks or so.
