Avent Express Bottle & Babyfood Warmer

When we bought our daughter home from hospital, after she was born, she became very lazy and stopped sucking on the breast, this then lead me down the route of expressing milk as a way to make sure she got some food and we stopped panicking at the thought of her starving to death. I did normally try to express before she would want feeding but sometimes this was impossible and I would have to use already expressed milk out of the fridge. This would need to be warmed up by placing the bottle in a jug of boiled water. I started to get a bit feed up with waiting for the kettle to boil and then ... more

Usually when things come recommended (and mind, I've had several great recommendations from this colleague of mine), I have great expectations and as a result, I think the Avent Express Bottle Warmer has let me down quite badly.

Avent's Bottle Warmer uses heated water to warm your baby's milk or food. They are widely available including in most supermarkets. I got mine from Argos and paid £19.99. In the box you get the warmer itself (no assembly required) a small Avent bottle with lid and a feeding spoon. Simply plug the warmer into the mains, put the bottle in and then fill with water to the level of the contents of the bottle, or to the maximum level possible. Then switch the warmer on and wait the required amount of time for it to warm the bottle and contents. It does have three heat levels although I can't for the ... more
