Re: Bottle warmers
I never used a bottle warmer. I just hold the bottle under warm water or in a mug of hot water. If I am out and about and can't do one - he takes it cold and luckily doesn't mind it.

Thats what I would do. I had the one that you plug into the car and it took FOREVER and hardly worked.
I used to just go into a store and ask for a boiling cup of water and stick it in there!

Re: Bottle warmers
At home I use ready to feed formula, but when I go out I use powdered formula so I don't have to worry about keeping it cool before we use it or warm when it's fedding time. I put the water in the bottle and the powder in a little tuppaware thing that has 3 compartments. The water is usually room temperature so there's no need to warm.

Re: Bottle warmers
Connor will drink it cold. You may want to try giving it cold every once in awhile so if you are in a jam the baby will drink it cold.
Otherwise us powder and just put water in the bottles and bring the powder.

Re: Bottle warmers
We bring a new container along and then break it open when needed. We then find a place to store the container or trash it and use another one. If we are at a friends house, we fridge the container and then warm up the bottle using a mug with warm/hot water.

Re: Bottle warmers
Also, not sure what kind of formula you are using, but I know they make single serving ready to feed for similac and enfamil.
I had a car warmer that STUNK. It was a total waste. I would then just give it to her cold.

Re: Bottle warmers
We didn't need to warm our bottles, I mixed powder and room temp water at feeding time.
