Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Night and Day Bottle Warmer System
Customer Review: twin mom
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this as a present for my twin girls (7 weeks). We haven't used the cooler yet because they are waking up many more times in the night than once so we've moved a mini-fridge to their room. The warmer is nice, but you cannot warm one bottle after another. You have to sit and wait several minutes before it will let you warm another one. Also, the two little cups that you use to fill the warmer (it heats using steam) are pretty inconvenient. I'm always over filling them and spilling on the floor. Until we got the better warmer, it was pretty nice. But ... I'm looking forward to using it as a bottle cooler when my two girls are only waking up one time in the middle of the night - then we'll get rid of the mini-fridge.Customer Review: Nice to have, but could be better!

This is a very nice item to have. It is sooo much easier to heat the bottle in the nursery at 2am rather thatn running downstairs to the microwave. There is the problem of too much/too little water. After using it for a while, you get a better idea of how much water you need. I tend to use a little more water and then check the bottle periodically. I then have the option of putting it back in for a few more seconds. I don't think this item is particularly well made and they could improve it. The others I looked at in the same price range looked to be about the same. All in all, I'd buy it again, it's been very helpful and even though my daugter sleeps through the night, I still use it for that first bottle of the morning.Customer Review: this thing is wonderful!

Its funny how many people out there don't take the time to even SKIM through the instructions. This thing works just as promised. Unlike other bottle warmers, this one will heat evenly because its heated by steam, and if your bottle is over or under heated there's no one to blame but yourself for not following the instructions. I've used this with both the Medela and the First Years Soothie wide bottles and they both work great. And although it would be nice if it was some type of electronic refrigerant instead of just a simple cooler with an ice pack you have to manually replace, that feature still saves me the time and hassle of going downstairs to the fridge to get a bottle to heat up. This is one happy new Dad!Customer Review: Great Product but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I can honestly say I love this bottle warmer because it is very convenient for those in a 2-story house. We loved being able to keep the bottle cool and save the trip downstairs in the middle of the night. Even when my son was sleeping through the night we still kept his morning bottle in his room and used this warmer to keep it cool. But...I was very disappointed that my Dr. Brown's bottles were too wide for the warmer. The taller Dr. Brown's bottle fit in the warmer but were too tall to fit in the cooler. I ended up still using the cooler but storing the Dr. Brown's bottles in there without the nipple and cap on so they would fit. My only suggestion would be to make the warmer wider so all bottles can fit.Customer Review: Handy and As Reliable as Anyone Can Expect
Summary: 3 Stars
A dedicated steam warmer is definitely better than any other option such as a pan of water on the stove (takes too long) or the microwave (danger of uneven heating; robs contents of nutrients). We have ours in a second-story nursery and have been pleased with it. The only problem is that the results can be unpredictable - sometimes one capful of water will do the trick just fine, sometimes the bottle feels hot but the milk inside still cold, and sometimes it just goes to town and overheats the contents. Nonetheless, I figure any heating process will be unpredictable, so I can't fault this model.
The unit comes with adapters to hold any standard 4- or 9-oz. bottle; we've used Avent with no problems.
