Feeding "Accessories" Review
Let's face it, eating is one thing that your baby (and eventually adult-kid) will never outgrow.
They'll go from teeny tiny amounts of breast milk or formula to eating you out of house-and-home practically overnight. From bottles to spoons and cups, here are a few things to help ease the pain of nourishing your little one from the time you come home from the hospital through the day when they finally fly the coop.

The First Years Quick Serve Bottle Warmer
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to heat bottles, this bottle warmer is great. It's made by the same manufacturer as the Pro model, but it is much smaller, and quite portable. It works very quickly, and heats a 4-ounce bottle of milk in less than a minute... which is very valuable when your baby is ready for a bottle RIGHT NOW!
The price is not much less than the Pro model, and you can get it at Babies R Us or Target. |

FIRST Years BabyPro Bottle warmer
If you're planning on bottle-feeding your baby, this is the best bottle warmer you can get. There was a time where I was pumping milk and giving Lucas bottles, and this was GREAT! It has a cooler on the back where you can keep two bottles cold with an ice pack, and a warmer in the front.
You add a small amount of water to the warmer plate, and it steams the bottle warm, rather than placing it in a pool of icky water. The warmer comes with a guide (located on the side) for dosing the appropriate amount of water, and has an auto-shut-off mode. You can get it at Babies R Us or Target. |

Udder Covers Nursing Cover
My nursing cover gets a HUGE thumbs up! It has been a lifesaver for nursing in public, as well as around family and friends. I use it whenever I am out of the house, or when I have guests over.
Bonus: it was FREE from Udder Covers! Just look for a promotional code online to receive a $32.00 discount. You can also purchase nursing covers at Target or Babies R Us. |

Munchkin Car Bottle Warmer
We travel A LOT, so I thought that I would use this on a regular basis. My mom recommended that we get one, because she had one for my bottles that she used all of the time.
However, this particular brand didn't work at all for us. It took practically FOREVER for it to heat up the milk! I used Dr. Brown's bottles, which are tall and skinny, and the bottles would get extremely hot, but the milk wouldn't heat! It would take less time to just leave the bottle sit out and allow it to come to room temperature than it would to use this product. Perhaps mine was just a lemon, but other reviews on this product are similar to my experience. You can try your luck and get it at Babies R Us or Target. |
