How necessary is a bottle warmer? I plan to breastfeed. I'm going to pump and freeze, hopefully. FTM didn't know what…

I'll more than likely skip it.

Yeah I was just looking at like a $20 one. @holalatina

If you do decide to purchase one. Don't buy one that's 40 or 50 dollars I have one because it was a gift so I didn't pay for it

Ok that's easy enough @holalatina

thanks for the chart @showersoverflowers

It's not necessary at all but I have one. When I go to work and my husband keeps him I pump milk out in the morning and stick it in the fridge. When my son is ready to eat my husband warms them in the warmer. But of course warm water works just fine.

this might help

this is the best milk warmer for breast milk because if you warm the breast milk to much it dissolves alot of the nutrients..I researched alot because I ebf my daughter but I wanted to bottle feed as well but she never did take a bottle. but in all the things I found it says if you over heat the milk of u shake it instead of stir u lose nutrition as well..but it's up to you or Google online and do a little research you can also check the leche league it's very informative..

Or is it bad or the end of the world if it's cooler than room temp and I can't find a place to warm it up? Sorry for all the questions. I've taken care of lots of babies but they've all been formula fed.

Ok thanks ladies. I'll just save the money. I figured I'd just use the warm water and call it good. I mostly didn't know how long it'd last at room temp if I took some and went to dinner or shopping. Is it OK or best to take it frozen and let it thaw if I know I won't be using it immediatley while out and about? I'm assuming as long as it doesn't get too warm and obviously go over the time that it's good for? Should I get one of those insulated bottle bags? @henrysmommy @mam426 @surpriseme @andiryan93 @zandernix2015

I wish there was a bottle warmer that took batteries lol my son has so many drs appointments and ii have to drive 1 hour to the specialists so I take frozen milk and its hard to find places to warm a bottle but if im just going to town I pump a fresh bottle and take it with me bc its good at room temperature for 6 hours some say ten but I dont go over 4

I always ran frozen breast milk under warm water.

Warm water works great with frozen breast milk.

I had one and used it maybe once or twice. pot of boiling water was quicker.

Not necessary💁🏻
