When I was pregnant, I decided I wasn't going to be carried away by buying useless baby items that really weren't needed and it was to be basics only. One item that probably wasn't needed that I did buy was a bottle warmer, but I actually found it came in very handy. As a first time mom to be, I have to admit I really didn't have a clue about babies so anything that would help me out in those first few months would be a godsend. It may sound like a useless item but I had no idea how long a bottle would take to warm otherwise so I thought with a bottle warmer, it would pretty much tell me when its done and I wouldn't have to worry about how long it would take ...  Read the complete review

I got given this Avent bottle warmer as a present when I was pregnant. I wasn't actually planning on getting one myself as I felt it was a waste of money when a jug of hot water could do the same job. However as I had been given one I thought I might as well use it. My initial thought was that it looked nice and it was fairly small, which will come in handy for travelling. It's plain and white with a blue holder inside, used for holding the water. There is a small avent badge at the bottom along with a silver turn dial used for changing the heat setting. We made our bottles up from scratch during the daytime as that is what was advised when I was ...  Read the complete review

I had an Avent bottle warmer when my little girl was born and I found it a god send. She went on to bottles fairly quickly and would have up to 8 a day so we needed an efficient bottle warmer which would warm the bottles efficiently. I know a lot of people use microwaves but I had heard various negatives reports about them so decided to stick to a bottle warmer. I chose the Avent as it was one of the better makes on the market at the time and it also was the nicest looking. The warmer was white with a silver dial and a blue plastic insert. It came with one small 5oz bottle and a feeding spoon. It is so simple to use. You ...  Read the complete review

When I had my daughter a bottle warmer wasn't something that I had thought about buying but when I travelled with her and visited family it was a bit of a nightmare having to go downstairs and boil the kettle, and I was really worried about waking people up. I decided to have a look on the internet for a cheap bottle warmer and I managed to find the Avent model on Ebay for just a couple of pounds. It was so much easier warming the bottle with the bottle warmer during the night and not having to sit with the bottle in a jug of boiling water was great! The bottle warmer is so easy to use, you simply fill it with water (to the marked level on the ...  Read the complete review

As first time parents, we must have bought about a thousand 'must have' items that were reccomended to us. This is not one of the ones that we found was essential. Sure, it was nice to have around and looks much smarter and neater on your worktop than a measuring jug, but to be honest, it does the same job as boiling a kettle and pouring it into a jug, then standing the bottle in it- a method which when we visited relatives, we actually found took less time! When it is 3am and you've had say, 26 minutes sleep, every second less it takes to hush the screaming baby makes all the difference! I think that the next time we have a baby (god willing) we will still ...  Read the complete review
