I’ve found I’m not as comfortable or confident nursing in public, and my baby hates having nursing covers over her, so that’s left us with navigating taking along bagged breastmilk and bottles whenever we go out. I wanted a simple, inexpensive, discreet way to heat up milk that didn’t require a power source, and this is absolutely perfect. I’ve used it 5+ times since it arrived and it’s worked great every time. I use our electric kettle to boil up water and fill it up, and it stays extremely hot for hours (multiple times, I’ve forgotten to empty the water until 12+ hours later, and it’s still been almost boiling temperature!). I prefer bringing my milk totally frozen with an ice pack by it so it doesn’t thaw out fast while we’re out, and it only takes a few minutes to thaw out a bag of frozen milk in this. I haven’t had any issues with leaking so far. It’s a bit bulky, but I can slip it down in our diaper bag backpack well enough, and the outer part (that you pour the hot water into) easily holds one or more breastmilk bags, and it can hold Comotomo brand bottles. I am so pleased with how well this works—it’s made feeding my daughter in public so much faster, easier, and more comfortable.

I've researched many travel bottle warmers. Here was my criteria:- Easy to use- Truly portable (small enough to easily fit in a diaper bag)- Mobile (not necessarily tied to a power source)- Quickly heats up milk- No chance of accidentally scorching the milkMost products seemed easy to use but the biggest issues with those that plugged into the car charger is that they took forever to heat up the bottle (~30 minutes). That might work if I only had an infant and was tuned into her hunger cues at all times. But I have a toddler and when we're out and about, time is of the essence. I can't wait 30 minutes - by that time the baby is screaming. Also, I didn't want to have to run to the car to heat the bottle.This warmer is the perfect system for me. I fill with boiling water before we head out. The thermos keeps the water very hot throughout our small trips. I haven't tried it out for more than 4 hours but the water was kept incredibly hot during that time period.I just pour about 2 to 3 inches of water into the very tall cup that comes with it and drop the bottle in. About 2 minutes later, the milk is the perfect temperature.The biggest issue is that you're dealing with scalding hot water. With an active toddler and a baby to juggle, this takes a lot of concentration and awareness. The tall cup makes it a bit safer but you still have to be on your toes. I have safely poured the water into the cup while sitting in the backseat of a moving vehicle so it's not that difficult.Could you find a thermos that is cheaper? Sure. I haven't found one with a tall cup like the one provided here and that is a key component of its safety and even heating capabilities.We're very pleased with this product and I've recommended it to several friends already.Ultimately, this fits our needs perfectly

This has been so helpful for heating up my baby bottles when out and about. The water stays hot for hours. So convenient. I have bought two over the years . I would definitely recommend for all moms out there who need an easy way to heat up their bottles.

Great buy! I’m so happy I got this product. Before it was such a hassle trying to bring refrigerated breast milk on the go with my newborn. I used it for the first time yesterday and it worked awesome. I put boiling water from a tea kettle and packed the item in my stroller. I used it a few hours later to heat a bottle and it worked perfectly. I accidentally left it in my car just now and brought it inside to clean and the water inside it was still warm! I’m very surprised.The cup that you pour it in is large and wide enough for all of the major bottle brands- I use the wide neck Avent bottles and it fit perfectly. I plan to take it with me while I fly solo with my 11 week old and will get hot water in it once I go through security.Just a few heads up:- when the thermos is full, it is heavy so it will take up some space and weight in a diaper bag. So if you know that you’ll only need it for 1-2 bottles I wouldn’t fill it to the top- it is a little tough to unscrew to get the cup off so you’ll need both hands-I filled it just a hair too high when putting hot water in the thermos and I turned it upside down to make sure that it didn't leak but it did leak a little. So just make sure you don’t fill it up all the way to the top.-like the instructions say, put the bottle in the cup first before you add water to warm it, that way it won’t spill over and you don’t waste water from your thermos

The first one we got leaked but we were able to get a replacement which works great. Keep warm most of the day. It is a bit bulky to travel with but for us its worth it bc of size. I wish we had gotten this earlier, would have made traveling easier.
