I had the opportunity to review the Nuby Electric Warmer & Sterilizer. As part of this review, I did receive a product sample, however all views and opinions are my own.
If you follow this blog on a regular basis at all, you will know that I have talked a lot about E’s inability to latch when he was born. Because of this, I pumped breast milk and fed him from a bottle for his first three months. As anyone who has pumped knows, after you pump the milk you can either store it in the refrigerator or freeze it. Either way, when your little one is ready to feed the milk isn’t even close to being warm.
The hardest thing was when he would wake up during the night for feedings. We had a ranch house so thankfully, the kitchen was just down the hall so I would run a container of hot water and then pop the bottle in while I was changing the diaper. After I was done with the diaper I would get the bottle. Even though the bottle had been in the hot water, it still wasn’t even close to being warmed. Thankfully for me, E didn’t seem to mind cold milk. In fact, he even seemed to enjoy it!
At the time I considered buying a bottle warmer, but I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to pump for many more months and I didn’t want to waste money on something that I wouldn’t get a lot of use out of. Back then, I wish I would have had one of the Nuby Electric Warmer & Sterilizers!
What is so great about this product is that it not only warms breast milk and formula, but it also acts as a sterilizer for bottles, nipples, pacifiers, and even pump parts! This is great because it has so many uses so you aren’t limited to a certain time period. Even better, this works for many different types and brands of bottles, because lets face it, even though you want to use one brand of bottle, your baby may have other ideas!
Unlike heating a bottle in the microwave, no nutrients are removed from formula and breast milk. Formula, breast milk, and baby food are heated slowly and evenly, avoiding the hot spots common with microwave heating. All you have to do is press the button, an orange light will come on to indicate it’s working, and the warmer does the rest.
I love the fact that this sterilizer/warmer is so sleek and modern in design. It fits in perfect in my kitchen. When you open the box you will find the warmer/sterilizer itself, a built in measuring cup (which is stored on the side of the unit which is a fabulous idea considering small parts seem to be able to get lost all the time), a lift out basket, a sterilization lid, and an adapter ring.
