Advantages: Nicely presented and seems an ideal purchase/gift

Disadvantages: Everything !!! Burms baby, wakes baby up and just doesn't work properly

This Night and Day warmer sounds ideal but has serious drawbacks.

Firstly, only narrow neck bottles (ie, not Avent wide neck style) fit in to the warming chamber (which is metal and burns your fngers when you desperately try to extract the bottle) plus there are two wells which take appx. two teaspoons of water to use for the re-heat process. These are difficult to measure and inevitably, inaccurate.

When you wake up (ie.. baby wakes you up) at midnight, 2am, 4am etc. you sneak into the nursery and switch on this warmer, then try to pacify baby and keep them half asleep. NO WAY !!! This warmer is louder than the loudest kettle I've ever heard. It hisses and bubbles whilst warming and basically brings baby into a state of consciousness you simply don't want.

On top of this, the milk is either underheated (no real problem there) or seriously overheated... many problems there... ie, baby can get burns and blisters.

Generally, when using this warmer, I heated the milk and then ran to the bathroom to plunge the bottle under cold water to reduce the temperature.
