It’s important to duplicate the natural body temperate milk your baby needs. Many mothers favor the microwave — a few zaps and luke warm milk can be perfected. Unfortunately this dependable kitchen appliance has several flaws. First of all, microwaves don’t always heat milk evenly. Hidden hot spots can be dangerous for your baby. Secondly, the intense heat of microwave currents can also cause the bottles’ plastic toxins to seep into the milk.

While these two reasons alone should steer you clear of the microwave method and think of a baby bottle warmer instead, when preaching these setbacks and dangers to new mothers, I’ve found the most convincing case to be the stationary limits of the microwave.

Let’s be honest, busy moms can’t be chained to the microwave for all their child’s infancy! Thank goodness for portable baby bottle warmers. From running errands to extended traveling, there are a variety of lightweight and efficient warmers.

For shorter trips away from the house a thermos type insulator might do the trick. The insulator can be filled with boiling water before you head out. These are the least expensive option and most eco-friendly. However these baby bottle warmers may only stay the perfect temperature for a couple hours.

Car outlets offer a surprisingly dependable warming source en route to your destination. Unnecessary cigarette lighters can now be used as a source of energy for baby bottle warmers. This may soon become the hottest baby car accessory since the portable car seat.

Baby bottle warmers can be helpful to have in other places around the house, like your bedside table. Middle of the night feeding can be quickly taken care of with automatic steam heaters. A trip to the kitchen can be traded for a few extra minutes of shuteye. These electric warmers oftentimes feature more than one bottle holder and a nightlight.

And that’s only the beginning! The numerous different models of baby bottle warmers on the market can meet any mother’s particular bottle warming need. No matter what model of baby bottle warmer you choose, one should always proceed with caution when feeding your baby. Always do the tried and true method of testing a drop of milk on your wrist.

There are a number of baby bottle sterilizer models on the market to choose from. Microwave compartments, microwavable bags and electric steamers are just a few. The microwave sterilizer container is simply a container that is microwave safe.

Water is added to the container, you then place the bottle inside of this container and microwave away. Make sure to read instructions on the bottle carton and complete according to the directions on the package. This is safe, convenient and easy to use. A disadvantage is its size. It may not fit into all microwave ovens.

An alternative to the microwave container method is the microwavable bag. This is a bag that you put the bottle in and straight into the microwave. It is also probably the cheapest way in terms of paid bottle sterilizing methods. You can use each several times before discarding it.

An electronic baby bottle sterilizer is a little more complex. It is a separate container that heats electronically in order to disinfect the bottles. Adjoining pieces of the bottle, like the nipple and ring can also be included. You may have a problem with the size of the bottle and the size of the baby bottle sterilizer, i.e., bottle not fitting. That can easily be avoided and is not a major issue.

The most simple way and effective way of sterilizing baby bottles is the microwave container. This is reliable and you do not have to worry about any parts malfunctioning as with the electric baby bottle sterilizer. Sometimes it is hard to pay a lot for just a plastic container, but for new parents it may be worth the investment.

The electronic sterilizing method is good for use in the home. As long as there is an electric outlet you can plug it right in. This means you can put it anywhere in your home, including your bedroom for convenience. With some electric sterilizers you can also use it to sanitize other toys your child gets into their mouth, like chew toys or pacifiers.

If you are traveling, the microwave bag may be the option for you. It is easy to pack and carry. As long as you have access to a microwave you will be able to sterilize your baby’s bottles, and accessories.

Before purchasing a baby bottle sterilizer it will save you headaches if you make sure that it will fit the bottles you already have. It is also convenient to think about how your bottles will get bigger as your baby grows as well. Although sanitizers disinfect the bottles, make sure you wash the bottles after they have gone through this process. The usual recommendation for washing bottles is warm water and soap.

Polycarbonate plastic is used to make plastic baby bottles. When the bottle is heated, a chemical called BPA (bisphenol-A) is released. This chemical attaches itself to the milk inside the bottle and is therefore ingested by the baby.

Parents have justifiably become alarmed at this news. This has prompted a resurgence of glass baby bottles. This is a good thing, especially when you consider that during recent years, manufacturers of cool drinks and sodas have started bottling their products in glass and done away with plastic containers.

Glass is pure, clean and totally recyclable. It contains no chemicals whatsoever therefore the milk inside cannot be contaminated. Glass baby bottles come in all shapes, sizes and colors. This means you can buy your baby’s bottle to match all his or her other baby items.

Obviously you can still buy the traditional straight shaped glass baby bottle. Other shapes include angle-necked bottles, curved bottles, wide-necked bottles, bottles that have openings at both ends, and even bottles shaped like a woman’s breast. The bottles that have openings at the top and bottom are very practical because they can be easily cleaned.

Of course the question on every mom’s lips is ‘What about the safety of glass bottles?’ You’ll be pleased to know that very thick glass is used to make baby bottles. This makes them very unlikely to break without significant force. Parents should also remember that it is up to them to ensure their baby’s safety.

You should never leave a baby unattended while he or she is feeding from a bottle. And when your baby is old enough to walk, never let him or her walk around holding a bottle. If you follow these two golden rules, a glass bottle will be perfectly safe for your baby, and you will have peace of mind knowing that no harmful chemicals are contaminating the contents.

To further enhance the safety of glass baby bottles, you can go online and make some inquiries about a revolutionary baby bottle made with glass that contains a silicone sheath to prevent breakage. These bottles are hypo-allergic and come in many colors.

Another new invention are glass baby bottles that comes with a protective sleeve. This bottle comes with a non-toxic, latex free nipple. The sleeve, which has been approved by the FDA, contains no polycarbonates and it is completely recyclable.

Because glass retains heat longer that plastic, a glass baby bottle will keep the milk warmer for longer. Glass can withstand high heat so the bottle can be put in extremely hot water when sterilizing it. Unlike plastic, glass baby bottles do not retain that nasty odor of old milk. Some can be washed in a dishwasher. Make sure you check the label before placing glass baby bottles in a dishwasher.
