History of Bottle
Feeding bottles were used even in the ancient times. It is evidenced by a ceramic vessel resembling the animal udder that was found on the territory of modern Germany. Historians state that it was made within the period from 13th to 9th century BC. A bit later people also used animal horns to feed their babies. In the course of time and progress, animal horns were replaced by ceramic and metal vessels that had been used until the 19th century. But it is worth saying that hygiene was the major issue at that time as very often those vessels were not properly cleaned that led to bacteria growth and high children’s death rate. The first glass bottle was patented by the American C.M. Windship in 1841. It became the starting point for nursing vessels quick improvement and within the period from the 1840s to 1940s U.S. Patent Office issued over 200 patents for different inventions in this area. Fortunately, today we can purchase the whole variety of modern feeding bottles of different sizes, shapes,and materials that are absolutely safe for your little ones.

Several Interesting Facts
1. The baby’s taste preferences start developing in utero. An unborn child can better catch the flavor of foods the mom was eating while being pregnant. It is interesting that a child will easier digest those dishes that a woman preferred during pregnancy. This is one more essential reason for all pregnant women to follow a healthy diet.
2. It’s surprising but in breast milk for feeding boys, there are much more fats and proteins that in the milk for feeding girls. Nature already knows who you’re expecting to give birth to and prepares you right.
3. Adults who ate sweets in the childhood suffer from obesity way more often than those who didn't. So, don't develop a habit to soothe your crying child with sweets and biscuits. It won't do any good in the future.
4. According to the research, fruit and vegetables tend to lose some nutrients and vitamins with each year. For example, an apple today contains 1.5 times less magnesium than it did 30 years ago.
5. Nutritions say that kids choose to eat multicolor food rather than plain, so if you’d like your little one to eat more heartily, add some bright fruit or vegetables on a plate. That should help!

What Is a Bottle Warmer?
Every parent knows that baby feeding is not that easy. The baby’s digestive system is very sensitive to both the food quality and its temperature. The milk and baby food are best digested when they are heated to the body temperature (96.8-98.6F (36-37C). But neither microwave nor oven allows you to achieve such accurate warming results. For this very reason, a bottle warmer was invented. This is a rather simple, yet very functional device that will quickly and, what is more important, evenly warm the baby food to the proper temperature comfortable for kid’s digestion. Moreover, such warming method preserves all the food vitamins and nutrients bringing maximum nutritious values to your child.
Besides feeding, the next thing to consider about the baby care is a sound sleep of your little one. High-quality baby cribs will surely contribute to a healthy sleep of your infant while baby monitors will come in helpful to monitor your child’s sleep when you're not in the same room.
What Features to Compare
The very first thing to consider is a Warmer Type. Today there are two types of warmers: a water bath unit and a steam heat warmer. In the case of water bath models, you will need to pour the water into the vessel with a bottle. The heating element will heat the water, which in its turn will warm the bottle. The major benefit of this type is a maximum even heating without any hot spots irrespective of food consistency. The steam heat units will convert the water to steam that will heat a bottle with milk or baby food. Though steam models will warm the bottle almost twice quicker, after heating is completed you will have to wait for several minutes until the bottle cools down a bit. Besides, there might be some condensate on the bottle.
Heating time is another key choice factor to minimize the period from the moment your infant gets hungry and till the moment you start feeding your baby. Modern warmers heat bottles up to the set temperature within 2 to 10 minutes. The heating time depends not only on the initial food temperature but also on a bottle capacity, material, and even shape. We provide an approximate time for heating 4 oz of food. If the unit offers several Warming Settings it will help you set precise temperature for different foods. You should also think about where you are going to use the bottle warmer. If you choose it exceptionally for a domestic use you need an electric model connected to the mains. But for regular trips or travels, you’d better select a unit powered from a car lighter or both power source options.
The unit Performance and Usability are also essential. An auto keep warm function will be extremely useful to maintain the food temperature after heating. The ready light or sound indicators allow determining when the food has been heated and ready for use. Some models require adding the water before every use while others come with a special reservoir holding enough water for several heating cycles without the need for a refill. The cord storage compartment is significant from the safety standpoint. You can set the necessary cord length to reach an electric socket and avoid pulling the slack power cord. Overall Dimensions will help you picture the unit and think over where you are going to place it. But mind that a bigger warmer does not necessarily mean it's also more capacious and can hold bigger bottles. Pick a warmer that suits your personal preferences and your kid's needs so that you can spend more time with your baby instead of waiting for a bottle to heat up.
