Bottle Warmer - Thermos

I LOVE THIS! I use it every day! We don't like to microwave Tav's milk, so we used to microwave a Pryex Measuring Cup, then sit his bottle in it, and wait for it to heat up. Which worked great.. until we're somewhere without a microwave... then what!? Well... I had this brilliant idea that we should get a really nice thermos, and keep a cup big enough for the bottle, then I would always be able to warm his milk! Sadly someone already invented it.. so I'll have to come up with a different invention to get rich.  ;)
This Tommee Tippee Travel Food Warmer is so cool! We boil water in our Tea Pot, fill up the thermos & it stays hot forever! (Even after 12 hours it's still pretty dang warm, depending on how full it still is..)  It's so convenient to use the cup, set you bottle in it and let it warm.  I was always so nervous to leave the house with him, because I would need to find somewhere to nurse him, or if I had milk in my Enfamil Cooler (FREE FROM THE HOSPITAL! GET ONE!) I would have to figure out how to warm it.  This thermos made me feel free to go out & not be constantly worried about his next feeding! Now that he's on formula, I use thermos water, add cool water (I keep a couple water bottles in his diaper bag) until it's the right temp & have a perfect bottle ready to go (Try to 'swirl' to mix the powder instead of 'shaking' it, you get less air bubbles).  I fill the thermos in the morning  and it will last until dinner time. I refill it then, and can make his bedtime & first morning bottle with it! I let the Tea Pot reheat while I feed him in the morning, refill it, & start all over. SERIOUSLY AMAZING.
The only thing I would warn you about is that the water doesn't pour out where you expect it to! (It DOESN'T come out where the button is, it comes out the side of the lid where the little gap is.)

(I couldn't find my Tea Pot anywhere, I got it at Ross years ago..
 It's a purple Tivoli Porcelain - Enamel one with a stainless steel handle, we've loved it.)

FREE HOSPITAL GIFT! 
Print this little certificate & put it in your Hospital bag, then you won't forget :)
(Some times the Dr. Office has them too, I have 2 of them! Ask your doc if they have samples, Enfamil, Gerber, & Similac usually have hospital gifts, & Dr. office samples, one nurse gave me 3 cans of formula!)
