Product Description

Amazon.com

Get newborns on the road to healthy weight gain with this kit that includes everything necessary for bottle-feeding babies during the first few months. The set includes four 4-ounce bottles for between-meal feedings and eight 9-ounce bottles for heartier appetites. All bottles are fitted with Avent newborn nipples, which have a lower flow rate to prevent babies from swallowing too much air and getting gassy or colicky. Avent nipples are also designed to resemble the breast as closely as possible so Moms doing a combination of breast- and bottle-feeding often find this brand to be more widely accepted among breastfeeding babies. Along with the bottles is a bottle warmer that safely heats cold formula in four minutes or less without producing hot spots (as a microwave does) that can burn baby’s mouth. The final component is a bottle brush with an angled tip that gets in all corners for thorough and sanitary bottle cleaning. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect temperature every time!, October 16, 2004

I received this as a gift at my baby shower. It is easy to use and really warms the bottles to the perfect temperature every time! The light goes on & off while heating (normal), but I have found that an 8 ounce bottle is perfectly warmed in 6 minutes. Other warmers can take up to 13 minutes!
I am absoultely against microwave heating bottles for my baby; why would you risk uneven heating or possibly burns when this warmer is so simple and foolproof?!
My son is now almost 6 months old and we have used it for bottles as well as baby food...no complaints!
BONUS: it works with other makes of bottles as well...not just Avent bottles.
Defintely worth the money! A great gift and in my opinion, a must-have!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best., January 1, 2005

my child was born underweight, so I had to supplement my breast milk with formula - she was so sensitive that she automatically rejected things not at body temp. With this warmer I could warm formula or my milk in 3-4 minutes for 4 oz! what a dream! I had to feed her every hour for the first 3 months so I'd let her nurse; burp her; change her; feed her formula; change her etc. Without this product don't I would've been able to take a minute for myself - A MUST HAVE

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific warmer & bottle set, January 7, 2006

We didn't use this warmer as much as we thought since our daughter was born in the Spring, but we're sure glad we have it (room temperature water was often fine for mixing with formula). I will say that we've used it enough to make it worthwhile. It's a great buy when you get the set with the bottles & nipples. Now that our daughter is 10 months old, we often use it to warm her baby food.

I agree with some of the other reviews about the fact that it doesn't have an automatic timer. However, it's best for the parents to be the judge of when the bottle is is warmed the right amount.

And in response to one of the reviewers that said it didn't have an on/off switch. It does, it's on the back of the unit.
