Bottles That Work With Bottle Warmers
A bottle warmer is a helpful invention. Since microwaving baby bottles is not recommended because of the hot spots the microwave creates in the milk, mothers would have to wait for a pot of water to simmer to heat their babies' bottles. You may be wondering what types of bottles can be heated in a bottle warmer. Check the manufacturer's instructions for accuracy, but most bottle warmers will heat all types of bottles.

Standard Bottles
-
Standard baby bottles are usually made of plastic. These are the most common types of baby bottles and should work with the majority of bottle warmers. Pour breast milk or formula into the bottle, place in the bottle warmer and warm the bottle with a touch of a button.
Wide-Necked and Angled Bottles
-
If your baby requires wide-necked or angled bottles because of gas issues or because that is what your baby prefers, you can still use a bottle warmer to warm your baby's breast milk or formula. Use the bottle warmer with these types of bottles just as you would with standard bottles.
-
Disposable Liners
-
Bottles that work with disposable liners have gained popularity among parents of young babies because babies swallow less air with these types of bottles, which leads to less gas for tiny tummies. If you prefer to use these types of bottles, you can still use a bottle warmer with no issues. Assemble the bottle before placing in the bottle warmer.
Glass Bottles and Jars
-
Glass bottles are preferred among parents who wish to avoid the possibility of chemicals leaching out of plastic into their baby's breast milk or formula when the bottle is warmed. Most bottle warmers will warm glass bottles just like they warm plastic bottles. Always swirl the breast milk or formula and check the temperature of it before feeding to your baby. If your bottle warmer is safe for glass bottles, you can also warm glass baby food jars. This comes in handy especially if you have refrigerated your baby's food.
