I am unclear how exactly I can heat up the content in the drop-in liner whether it is formula or cold breastmilk? Can you use bottle warmer?

yes you could use the bottle warmer. We leave the bottle in the warmer for a minute or 2 and it'll be nice an warm. Depends on the warmer.

My daycare used a bottle warmer with these worked fine. At home I just warmed in a mug of warm/hot water. DO NOT microwave.

I'm not sure about a bottle warmer, since the bag inserted to the bottle means that the milk/formula wouldn't get much contact with the outside surface of the bottle being warmed. When I pumped, I just warmed my stored containers of breastmilk in a hot water bath before putting them in the bottle. When my son was on formula, he liked it room temperature so as long as I kept a supply of water in a bottle on the counter, I had no need to warm it. A few times I did need to warm the breastmilk while it was in the bottle (had stored the milk in the bottle in the fridge) and I just submerged the whole thing in a hot water bath and dried it off before giving it to my son.

Yes, you can use bottle warmer, I use it and I have no problem at all with the temperature and drop ins. But just to be careful if is breast milk, you could warm the breast milk in the bag before and then put it in the drop in. That's what I do.

Sorry, I don't know because I've never had to warm up his milk or anything. My baby drinks his milk straight from the fridge.

We freeze milk in them all the time. We put 2oz in the 4oz liners, freeze them in the bottle with a lid, then use a twist tie once frozen and pop them into a large ziplock bag. When it's time to use, simply place back in the bottle to thaw. We place the liner in half a toilet paper roll first to make sure the frozen bag doesn't expand beyond the width of the bottle neck.

You shouldnt be warming breastmilk with boiling water in the first place. Its supposed to be warmed under luke warm water otherwise boiling it destroys the vitamin content. I warmed my breastmilk by warm tap water and then put it in the bottle. Also to get the nipple warm and to smell like me i placed it under my breast until i was ready to add the milk.

Hi Susan - the only thing I see in the Twist product manual is this:"Thaw + WarmRecommended: For safest, easiest and fastest results, thaw and warm using the Kiinde Kozii breastmilk warmer and bottle warmer.Do not microwave Twist Pouches.Do not steam or boil Twist Pouches.Conventional: Warm running water is the next best option."

Thankfully my daughter drinks her milk at room temp. I personally wouldn't since there is a piece that goes in the bottom part that is made out of the same material as the nipple.

Um, the Orb heats the milk by creating steam. You'd be putting a metal bottle into... steam. The metal will absorb the majority of the heat, leaving a bottle that will burn your hand when you touch it, and probably poorly heated milk inside. Wheter it fits or not, I wouldn't put a metal bottle in any bottle warmer that works by producing steam.

my husband uses it to warm food from a fridge... fridge keeps food at 40 degrees..... takes about 40 minutes to get it hot..... baby bottle warmed to room temp should take about 15 minutes max..... but you have to put liquid in a glass jar with a tight seal.... do NOT put plastic bottles in here!

You can put one bottle and it remains cool or hot thats it. You should try this. This is best.Medela Breastmilk Cooler Set

I don't think it would make a difference if it was breast milk or formula. But honestly I think this is a waste of money, it takes way too long to heat up, it would be quicker to hold bottle under hot running water! I regretted this purchase.

Yes. I used our bottle warmer with the bottles all the time, but I did reduce the time because stainless conducts heat more quickly than glass or plastic. Also, in a pinch, you can run hot water over the bottle, shake it, and have lukewarm milk/formula.

No, it will actually melt the bottle. I tried this and ruinef one myself. You have to heat the milk and then pour it in the liner.

I have never tried that. What I do is leave a bag/s of frozen milk overnight in the fridge to slowly thaw. I then empty in bottle the next day and then warm it as I need. If I need the frozen bag ASAP, I gently thaw under warm running water. Empty into bottle and warm in the warmer.

If you store the milk in bags, instead of bottles, the bags are best warmed in a bowl of warm water; this goes especially quick, if you store the bags lying flat. I breastfed, and hardly gave bottles, I used my warmer a couple of times, but found it to be unnecessary. Personal preference, I suppose. I had a number of different bottles that I tried, all of them fit in the warmer. Later, I used this a few times to heat up frozen food, it worked well, but I didn't stick with it.

I always just put a container of water in the microwave for a few minutes, and then let that hot water heat the bottle. I would swirl it around a bit to speed up the process. Not sure how this affected the nutrients, but I never broke a bottle and we have a happy, healthy toddler.

generally the manufacturer states "avoid exposure to extreme temperatures", so depends on how hot it was. Also was it just 1 bottle, or the whole case? If it was really hot, I would toss it and not use to be safe. Remember formula does not have antibodies such as breastmilk so no natural way to be okay if the conditions are not right.

I didn't see that. I use mine with glass bottles. It heats the formula up really quick. Just be careful of the hot glass and you have to play around with the timing on how fast it heats the liquid because it's much faster then a plastic bottle. I only use glass bottles now with it at night because it works so quickly and I don't want to listen to a screaming baby for 2 minutes with a plastic bottle when a glass one heats in a minute or less! But again, play around with it if you do choose to use a glass bottle so you don't BURN YOURSELF OR BABY.
