I’m looking for a bottle warmer that has the option of keeping a bottle warm during the night. So when my baby wakes up I have a warm bottle ready. I don’t want to have to warm it up at 3 am.
Can you tell me which one you have and if you’re happy.

If you are using powder... add it to your bottles... and fill up a small thermos with warm water. Add water to bottle when needed. (Suggesting this as you may already have this item, and I’ve been reading the frugal threads).

I’m also interested in a bottle warmer. Does it just keep a hot bottle warm or if a bottle has gotten cold can the warmer bring the temperature up?
Additionally, is it permissible to use on shabbos?

I’ve searched online and whatever I saw was a warmer that warms up the bottle. I didn’t come across any that keeps the bottle warm for a few hours. That’s what I’m looking for.

I believe the milk will spoil if you keep it warm that long

The milk will spoil probably.
What you can do is get a bottle warmer with a timer that we have the bottle warm at 3am for example

I have a relative that uses a mini crockpot to keep the bottles warm.

I’m not sure if it’s a safe option, but figured I’d share it anyway!

Is this for formula or breastmilk?

Think about the milk that you drink - would you really want to drink it after it was warm for a few hours?

Let me clarify. I’m talking about a formula bottle. So I would like to keep the water warm and just add the formula when baby wakes up.

First I’ll have to teach my baby to wake up every night at the same time Very Happy
Then I’ll think about this option.

Oooh.
Maybe keep a small percolator or hot water thermos near your bed?

I keep my percolator on and have hot water. It takes less than two minutes to prepare the baby's bottle at 3 am. It's the only thing that really works for me. In a six ounce bottle I put two ounces boiling water and four ounces room temperature water . Add the three scoops of formula and voila .

Yup that’s what I do when I have formula to do: keep bottles filled with water from percolater most of the way and just add a bit more to make it warmer and then add the powder

First trick is not getting baby used to warm bottles. Room temperature is the way to go. If baby is young you can still teach her

I keep a thermos, bottles half filled with water, and a formula dispenser near my bed. Bottle is ready in seconds.

Wrap the bottles of boiling water in towels and when baby wakes up the water will be warm.. just add formula

I almost burned down my house with a bottle warmer.... my pillow caught on fire from it ... I wouldn’t recommend after my experience

Try drinking a room temperature coffee in the morning...

It feels much better to give a baby a nice n warm bottle. I feel bad giving room temperature

So now I use a thermos. It’s ok. I was just wondering if there’s anything more convenient.
I guess not.

Yup, this was the best advice I got from more experienced moms. My baby got room temp bottles from the beginning. How do you warm bottles when you're out and about?

Not a good analogy since formula tastes like dreck anyway. Warm, cold: newborns don't care.
