Avent Bottle Warmer

I bought our Avent Bottle warmer second hand when I has pregnant with my son, I was not sure how much I would be using one as I was planning on breastfeeding for as long as possible but for £2.50 I couldn’t say no. ****Cost**** As I have said I bought mine second hand, but I have just checked on various websites and Toys R Us are selling the Avent brand for £17.99, Mothercare are selling their brand for £17.99 and Boots are selling their brand for £17.99 – so for once the shop makes are not cheaper. I would recommend shopping around though as I do recall seeing this bottle warmer on sale for as much as £25. ****What is ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ In the excited first flush of parenthood, you are bombarded by a large number of products which, on the face of it, look like a brilliant idea. These range from various slings and carriers, sterilising systems, infant seats, scientifically engineered bottles and various other essential looking paraphernalia. The difficulty is, without guidance, they all look good and its hard to discern what will be useful in the long run and what will otherwise gather dust. Fortunately, having managed to get our daughter through her first four years, we were able to apply some of the valuable lessons we learned to our ...  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

A friend gave me one of these when I had my first baby, so I didn't actually buy it but I understand they cost about £20 new. I do use it to heat up my baby bottles and the instructions are pretty clear; they tell you how long to heat a large avent bottle for to get it to the correct temperature and also for a small avent bottle. I guess I do feel reassured that, by following the instructions, I'm not going to heat the milk too much and risk the milk being too hot for my baby. However, I can't help feeling that this is one of those baby products that is really unnecessary and, at £20, it's a pretty expensive ones. What's wrong with just warming ...  Read the complete review

My partner bought this from boots for £20, when I first went to use it I read all instructions which are very straight forward and plugged it in it says to fill it with water just past the level of the bottle that your heating, which is simple. It has 3 heat settings which I don't think you really need because I just keep it on the highest so it heats up quicker, all the other 2 settings do is make it take longer to heat. It is very easy to over heat as it doesn't turn off unless you turn it off by the plug switch so it continually heats so you have to remember to take the bottle out. I once took the bottle out and forgot to turn it off and left heating up ...  Read the complete review
