Bleary-eyed parents who scramble to heat bottles in the middle of the night while their baby screams will rejoice at the simplicity and speed with which the Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer warms milk (and food) to just the right temperature. All they need to do is place the filled bottle in the warmer, fill the warmer with water, plug in, and wait for the neon light to flash on and off. In four to six minutes, baby has his bottle.

The Details
Whether a parent is heating breastmilk, formula, or pureed peas; using Avent bottles, other brands, or baby food jars; the Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer gently and evenly heats baby’s meal. The included plastic basket is used inside the warmer to keep baby food jars and Avent bottles upright. It can be removed when heating the Avent Magic cup and other makes of bottles. Water is added to just above the level of the milk in the bottle (or below the top of baby food jar). Plug the unit into an electrical outlet and click the switch on. A neon light will illuminate. Turn the dial to the appropriate setting (3 for Avent feeding bottles and baby food jars, and 2 for Avent Disposable System). When the bottle has been in the warmer for the appropriate length of time (a guide is included, based on whether the bottle is at room temperature or refrigerated to start), the light will flash. Test the temperature and reheat if necessary or serve. Don’t forget to switch the warmer off and unplug it!

Why Not Just Use the Microwave?
The microwave is never recommended for heating baby bottles or food. It’s difficult to judge just how much time is needed, and even brief heating can create "hot spots," which can burn baby. In addition, important nutrients may be lost in microwave heating.

How About Just Putting the Bottle in a Bowl of Warm Water?
Sure, if you (and your baby) don’t mind standing by the sink waiting for the water from the tap to warm up, then waiting for the bottle to warm, checking, checking again, and again…

Get Out of the Kitchen
Midnight runs back and forth to the kitchen are not high on the list of favorite activities for most parents. A pleasant bonus to using the Avent Express Warmer is that it can be set up in the bedroom, bathroom, nursery…anywhere there is an outlet. Having the bottle warmer and fixings set up close to the action (not too close, though—mind the safety precautions) can subtract minutes from the whole process. And as any parent will tell you, every minute counts.

What’s in the Box
The Avent Express warming system includes bottle-warming unit, basket, feeding spoon, four-ounce Avent bottle with top (nipple not included), and instruction manual with time/temperature guide. All Avent products work together and are completely interchangeable.

Note: It is possible to overheat a bottle or jar of food with this system. If you find that a bottle is not warm enough after the allotted time, you may replace it in the warmer, but remember that, although the water surrounding the bottle will remain at a constant temperature, the contents of the bottle or jar will continue to heat. Always test the milk or food before feeding baby. Use all normal and necessary safeguards when using this electrical appliance. --Emilie Coulter
