Baby Brezza BUNDLE Steriliser Dryer Advanced Black And Bottle & Breast Milk Warmer

When warming or thawing cold or frozen breastmilk, parents should always aim to heat it to body temperature– about 99 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). There are two factors that make body temp the best level of warmth for feeding time: first and foremost, warming breastmilk to body temp offers your little one the most natural feeling feeding time possible, emulating how fresh breastmilk tastes and feels; secondly, warming breastmilk beyond a certain point– 104 degrees Fahrenheit and higher, to be exact– destroys the valuable nutrients breastmilk provides baby. It’s also important to note, however, that some babies may prefer cold, chilled, or room temperature breastmilk or formula– if it seems like baby is rejecting bottles at their “fully warmed” state, play around with milder temperatures to see if they like it more.

Luckily, the Bottle & Breastmilk Warmer is super easy to clean– being that it only uses water for its warming basket, keeping the warmer clean is simple. For regular maintenance, we recommend unplugging the travel bottle warmer, pouring out any remaining water, and wiping the entire machine down with a paper towel or soft cloth. It’s crucial not to use any sort of scrub pad or other abrasive material or cleaning chemical that could scour the inside of the warming basket, as this could potentially damage the portable milk warmer, as well as release harmful chemicals into the warming basket from aggravating the surfaces of the machine.

Every so often, this breast milk warmer should be descaled to prevent buildup and to keep the machine and warmed bottles free of any harmful chemicals or bacteria. Every 4 weeks, parents should descale the machine to ensure safe and fully-operable warming cycles. There are two methods we recommend for descaling the bottle warmer: the first method is to mix 2oz of white vinegar with 4oz of cold water, pour the solution into the warming chamber, and run one heating cycle; the second method is to use Baby Brezza’s own Safe & Effective Descaler Liquid, which is safe and ready to use with any of our appliances. Again, simply pour the solution into the warming basket and run the portable baby bottle warmer for one cycle. Regular descaling of the portable milk warmer prevents corrosion, buildup, and greatly extends the lifespan of the machine.

Parents will note the two separate warming settings on the portable bottle warmer: Steady Warm and Quick Warm. Each option is designed for a specific purpose in order to promote the safest, easiest warming possible for breastmilk, formula, and/or baby food.

The Steady Warm option uses the portable milk warmer’s water bath to heat breastmilk to the ideal temperature, making sure to never go above 104 degrees, which would destroy important nutrients contained within your “liquid gold.” The Quick Warm option, however, is designed specifically with formula and baby food in mind, using the power of steam instead of a warm water bath. We recommend always using Steady Warm for breastmilk, and always using Quick Warm for formula or baby food. 

As you may have read in the description, the bottle sterilizer comes with a free HEPA filter. This “High-Efficiency Particulate Air” filter is vital to keeping your bottles as clean as possible and your baby as safe as possible. A HEPA filter comes into play during the drying process, helping keep mold, bacteria, dust, and pollen off your freshly drying bottles. Microscopic airborne particles risk affecting your little one’s health or allergies, so this bottle sterilizer is here to help by providing extra protection while drying. Remember to replace the filter every 3 months for the best protection possible!

Another aspect of sterilizing and drying your baby bottles is where to keep them afterward for safe and germ-free storage. Luckily, the bottle sterilizer itself makes for the perfect place to keep your freshly-clean bottles out of harm’s way. Once the sterilizing and drying cycle completes, simply leave all parts and pieces of each bottle in the chamber and pull each out as needed! This provides an environment that is safe and clear of germs or lingering bacteria that could attach to the bottles and threaten the baby’s health.

Parents may be wondering about the effectiveness of steaming and sterilizing their baby’s bottles, and this bottle sterilizer is here to put minds at ease. This model can kill 99.9% of germs with every cycle, providing the safest feeding environment possible for your little one. Where handwashing and household dishwashers leave a lot of room open for lingering moisture and bacteria, the bottle sterilizer fully steams, sterilizes, and dries bottles every time, making it the safest option for a cleaner, healthier bottle– and a safer, happier baby!

Some parents make the mistake of thinking that bottles should be washed after every use but not sterilized. It’s recommended to thoroughly sterilize your baby’s bottles after every feed– and this bottle sterilizer makes that step even easier. While washing your bottles with soap and water after they’ve been used may give the appearance of being thoroughly cleaned, it’s important to think about lingering moisture and the potential for germs, bacteria, or mildew to develop in those hard-to-clean areas. By placing all of your bottles in the bottle sterilizer, they’ll be steamed, sterilized, and completely dried more efficiently and safely every time.
