With the busy lifestyles led by most new parents, providing warm expressed breast milk or infant formula quickly, and often while you’re not at home, can be a bit of a challenge.
There is a range of options for warming your baby’s bottled milk – whether it’s the tried and true sitting the bottle in a container of boiling water, commercial bottle warmers, or microwave ovens (not recommended, particularly for breast milk).
Whichever method you choose, it’s important to do it safely so you don’t burn baby’s mouth or allow the transfer and growth of bugs that cause tummy upsets. Some bugs can make your baby extremely sick. Signs of foodborne illness to watch out for include: vomiting, fever, irritability and crying, not wanting to feed, or frequent dirty, runny nappies. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so you should take particular care and follow label preparation instructions closely.
Babies who are pre-term, low birth weight, or who have an illness or condition that means their immune system is weaker than normal are most at risk from harmful bacteria. You should talk to your doctor or lead maternity carer about specific feeding advice.
For all babies, but especially those under 3 months of age, it is very important that caregivers are scrupulous about hygiene when making, storing and feeding infant formula or expressed breast milk.
So I would like to share to you all the baby bottle warning of the First Year...to keep your baby healthy...

Designed for use from birth, the Quick ServeBottle Warmer from The First Years lets you warm bottles and baby food more
accurately and with more consistent temperatures. The compact design and
contemporary styling complements any kitchen or nursery counter or table top,
and the safe, user-friendly design saves time so your hungry child doesn't have
to wait to eat.
Fast, Convenient Heating
The Quick Serve heats any bottle instantly,
whether it's straight, angled, wide-necked or disposable (glass bottles,
however, should not be used). Once baby starts eating solid foods, you can also
use this unit to warm a jar of baby food. An included basket for baby food jars
and graduated water droppers keep things neat and organized, while the
easy-to-read grid allows for effortless measuring.
Safe Steam Heat
The Quick Serve takes the fear and guesswork out of warming, so you won't have to worry about inconsistent temperatures or the loss of precious nutrients. By utilizing steam heat to warm bottles or jars, this warmer eliminates the possibility of hot spots and unlike microwaves, preserves the nutritional value of the liquids and foods it heats. For added safety, the auto-shut-off button ensures that you never leave the unit on too long or risk overheating milk or baby food.

If you need to immediately heat another bottle or jar, simply wait 10 minutes to allow the heating element to cool off, and you're ready to go. And for added peace of mind, it also comes with a 90 day limited warranty.
