Baby Bottles, Bottle Warmers & Sterilizers

Are you expecting, or have you recently had a baby? Then you already know that there’s a lot of information to decipher about nursing & feeding. What type of bottle warmer do you need? How do you find the best infant bottle? Should you get a bottle sterilizer or sanitizer? Luckily, Macy’s is here to help. From baby gear & essentials like baby bottles to baby food & formula prep solutions designed to streamline your feeding routine, you’ll find it all here. We’ll explain the basics about bottles and bottle-related appliances below. 

Bottle Sterilizers, Sanitizers & Warmers
Are you wondering if you need to make space on the counter for both a sterilizer & bottle warmer? That depends mainly on your preferences. A bottle sterilizer is compatible with silicone, plastic, and glass baby bottles. Most parents like the extra protection that these sterilizers provide, especially when preparing and storing newborn bottles. Be aware that a bottle sterilizer is not the same as a bottle sanitizer, but both aim to keep baby bottles clean. A bottle warmer provides an entirely different function: it evenly heats milk (including breast milk) and avoids hot spots. Some types can even defrost frozen expressed milk stored in breastfeeding bottles. Bottle warmers are a fast and easy way to prepare warm milk for a hungry baby quickly. 

Choosing a Bottle Warmer
The best bottle warmer is any kind that works well for you and your child. Many bottle warmers are designed to heat up mother’s milk, baby formula, and baby food, making it a useful device to have around. Before you buy one, consider the specifics of your feeding routine. Are you nursing? Then you need to choose a bottle warmer for breast milk. If a bottle warmer overheats breast milk, it will affect the nutritional content. Are you and your baby always on the move? A portable bottle warmer comes in handy for traveling families. Bring it along for a day out or an extended trip to visit the grandparents and use it to heat bottles on the go.
