It's one of the few baby bottle warmers on the market that can fit the tall Dr. Brown's glass baby bottles (see our list of best baby bottles here!). Using an adjustable bottom basket, it can fit both those really tall and narrow bottles, but also wide mouth bottles, and even jars of baby food.

It’s important to never thaw or heat breast milk in a microwave,” Arquilla says, “A microwave can create hot spots in the milk; not only can those destroy nutrients in the milk, but it can be dangerous if the baby were to sip from a hot spot. It can burn the baby’s mouth.” Similarly, leaving a bottle or storage bag of breast milk to thaw in a bath of too-hot water can also diminish the nutrients in it, so it’s best to let your milk thaw in the refrigerator and to bring it to a drinkable temperature without overheating it if you’re not using a bottle warmer.
