Auto shutoff: Yes | Temperature display: No | Heat settings: 5 | Special features: Airtight lid, sterilizes and warms food | Type of heat: Steam | Bottle compatibility: Fits most bottles While there’s lots to love here, we found that this warmer is particularly sensitive to the type of bottle your milk is in. Whereas 3 ounces of milk in a silicone bottle reached a temperature of 97.8 degrees in four minutes, that same amount reached 108 degrees in the plastic bottle. For breastfed babies, this means the milk is losing nutrients in plastic containers, and 108 degrees is on the edge of being too hot to consume for any baby with any liquid. This just means you’ll have to pay close attention when first using this warmer to find the right amount of time for your particular needs.

Bottle Capacity and Compatibility: Some parents are looking for a baby bottle warmer that will grow with their baby and can hold a larger bottle. Others want one that can also defrost milk directly in storage bags or that can warm pouches of baby food.
