The best baby bottle warmers to warm your milk to perfection – tried and tested by parents

If you're looking for a high-quality bottle with temperature control and anti-colic benefits, this bottle is worth the investment according to our mum-of-two tester Shriti. "Having the temperature control feature was extremely useful, especially for saving time. During late-night feedings, it was easier to ensure that the milk was at the right temperature." She commented.

Featuring a silicone sleeve, it's great for a secure grip. The temperature control of the Ember Baby Bottle System is a very handy feature, as it's designed to keep the milk at a consistent temperature, meaning it doesn't go cold if your baby wants a little break from feeding.

Although it's on the pricier side for a baby bottle, our tester thought it was worth it considering its features and performance, offering really good value.

The steam steriliser is easy to use and big enough for bottles and other feeding accessories.”

With features like anti-colic bottles, slow flow teats, and breast-like soothers, this kit provides everything needed for bottle feeding for all babies. Our mum testers loved how convenient and time-saving this kit was for night-time feeds when preparing bottles at the perfect temperature quickly and easily. 

While some suggested including larger bottles for older babies, mums found the inclusion of bibs and an insulated bottle bag further enhances its practicality for on-the-go feeding.

All of this comes in one convenient box along with others like bottles, a bottle warming bag and dummies is amazing and just what you need for baby!”

Combining multiple functions in one compact device, the MAM Electric Steam Steriliser & Express Bottle Warmer sterilises bottles effectively, but it also serves as a bottle, food warmer, and breast milk defroster.

Its multiple functions, including electric and microwave sterilisation, make it suitable for various scenarios, from home use to travel. Mum tester Katie agreed, saying, “able to use at home or travelling as a microwave steriliser, which was great and really convenient as it is super compact, so hardly takes up any room.”

While some would have appreciated clearer water level indicators and a more compact design, overall, they did find this product very easy to use. Mum Jenny commented, “There doesn’t appear to be a maximum line for the water to be filled to, which would make using the steriliser a bit easier to use. I find myself having to measure out the recommended 200ml in a measuring jug to get the correct amount of water.”

It's also compatible with every type of baby bottle and jar. Having said that, Mum tester Annette found the shape of the bag to be a problem for her bottles. “The only problem is the shape of the bag. It made it very difficult to get my Avent bottles in and out.”

Parents found it very quick to heat bottles up and loved the design. Although it does require recharging and cleaning after each use, cleaning is easy, and it’s easy to recharge.

The NUK Thermo Express Bottle Warmer gently warms a bottle using steam to help it reach the perfect temperature in just 90 seconds. It’s designed to accommodate various bottle and jar sizes and includes a practical basket for easy lifting in and out.

Parents loved how easy this was to use, with one mum tester saying, “Once you find the correct amount of water for your bottle, then that's all you need: add, press the button and wait. No annoying beeps; the light just turns off.” 

Parents loved its ability to warm a fridge-cold bottle in just four minutes and the compact design means it doesn't take up much space on your kitchen counter, making it very practical. The compact design was also loved by parents when it came to travel, with one mum commenting, “We bought it for travelling purposes, and it worked wonders.”

Regular descaling is recommended for maintenance, and it's important to note that this is unsuitable for PE bottles or breast milk bags.

Mum testers loved that it did this job in one, commenting, “This was perfect for our needs in terms of steriliser and bottle warmer as it's compact and does both jobs.

Safety features include an automatic shut-off after eight minutes and cycle memory to repeat preferred heating times. One downside mums found is that it requires filtered water to prolong its use.

Although it's specifically designed for use with Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottles, it can accommodate multiple food containers, and parents particularly loved how convenient it was for bottle feeding and transitioning to solid foods.

The thermos-like design holds approximately two bottles' worth of hot water, ensuring you have everything you need while on the move. While it lacks temperature control, its affordability and practicality make it a worthwhile investment for parents, although some parents would have also liked it to hold more water, with one mum commenting, “doesn’t hold a massive amount of hot water and feel it does get cold after about 4/5 hours.”

It's a convenient solution for warming breast milk or formula, whether you're at home or on the go. One mum tester said, “We're only formula feeding once per day, so we are using ready-made and once in the bottle, this little gadget warms it to the perfect temperature in literally a couple of minutes.” The main downside was how tricky it was to clean, with one mum saying, “The only thing that's not great is cleaning it. You can't detach the heat plate to clean it. It makes sense, really, as it needs to stay attached to warm the milk. If you're a germ freak and really want to sterilise everything, it's just something to be aware of.”

Its one-touch design and compact size make the Nuby Bottle Warmer ideal for travel, fitting all sizes, shapes, and brands of bottles. Whether you’re warming breast milk, formula, or baby food, even from frozen, this warmer gets the job done in as little as three minutes.

One mum tester found this very easy to use, commenting, “So easy to use, just use the measuring jug each time and flick the button, then just wait! I have noticed over time the wait time for the warming has become a little longer each time, but still great!”

Parents love how quick this is to heat compared to traditional warmers. The main downside they found was that it doesn’t have an off switch, with one mum commenting, “It doesn’t auto turn off; the light stays on, and the only way to stop it is to turn it off at the wall.”

The clear indicator light lets you know when the milk has reached the perfect temperature, and the warmer automatically shuts off after 60 minutes to prevent dry-boiling. Parents love how this streamlines bottle-feeding routines and saves time. The only downside is that warming time can vary a lot depending on the starting temperature, which is not ideal for night feeds, as one parent found. “Sometimes the milk is 35, sometimes it is 23, and this can be frustrating, especially during night feeds with a screaming baby," they said.

The Tommee Tippee Easiwarm Electric Bottle and Food Pouch Warmer offers a convenient solution for quickly heating breast milk, formula, or baby food. With a warming time of as little as four minutes, it preserves all the nutrients while ensuring a comfortable feeding temperature for your baby. 

One mum tester said, “It's incredibly easy to use, heats the bottles quickly, and gives us the peace of mind that the milk is being warmed safely.”

Its gentle warming mechanism prevents hot spots for added safety. The intelligent warmer automatically calculates the optimum heating time based on the selected setting and starting temperature of the feed so you don’t have to guess. It also comes with a setting to keep the bottle warm for up to 30 minutes after heating.

Mum tester Natalie found this very useful when it came to travel, thanks to the USB-powered feature for charging on the go, commenting, "It’s perfect for when you are travelling and need to make bottles on the go, and it’s also useful at home as you can keep a full days’ worth of feeds in the fridge and just heat the bottles up as and when required.” With three heat settings and a generous formula compartment, it offers versatility. 

The NUPEAA warmer's silicone lid keeps the heating plate sterile for quick and hygienic warming. Parent tester particularly loved the product's silent operation and lightweight design.
