Step 1
Set everything up. The warmer should be unplugged and just resting somewhere. Make sure the plastic parts on the top are adjusted correctly and the bottle will fit in without any issues. Plug the bottle warmer in.

Step 2
Pour in the right amount of water. This is critical because if you don't use the right amount of water, the milk in your bottle will not reach the appropriate temperature and the baby may not take to it well. The warmer comes with a guide that lets you know how much water to use to heat the milk. Often there are two columns: one for chilled milk and one for room-temperature milk. Make sure you follow this guide and use the right amount of water for your bottle. Once you have the right amount, just pour it right into the middle receptacle.

Step 3
Place the bottle in the warmer and begin the warming process. The bottle goes in the middle compartment; when it is done warming the machine should begin beeping.

Step 4
Set the bottle out for a few minutes. When the bottle is done warming, it can be very hot. It's a good idea to not even take it out of the warmer for a minute. When it cools down and you can remove it, you'll still need to set it out on a table for 2 to 4 minutes to let the bottle and the milk cool a bit. Depending on how much water you used, the bottle can be very, very hot and can burn you or the baby. Be careful and never give the baby the bottle right away.

Step 5
Check the temperature. Even after the plastic has cooled, it is important that you check the temperature of the milk itself before you ever give the baby the bottle. The milk can easily still be too hot for the sensitive skin and insides of your baby. Make sure you check it by spraying just a few drops on the inside of your wrist. If it feels anything above slightly warmed to you, it is probably too hot for the baby, and you should give it a few more minutes to cool. Once the temperature is right, you are all set to feed your child.
