Thermos Baby Bottle Warmer by Fisher Price
I love to be out and about with Jack and I think lots of fresh air helps him have a much better nights sleep. I am especially trying t walk off all that excess baby weight that I have put on but I have been finding feeding fairly difficult if I am just out for a walk. It is not too bad doing a feed if I have gone out to a restaurant or somewhere where they can give me a jug of boiling water so I can drop his bottle in but if I am out walking and he gets hungry then I was really stuck for what to do until that is I came across this thermos flask.
I was browsing items on Amazon that I could spend some vouchers that I had received and that is when I came across this. Fisher price have made a thermos flask that is pretty much the same as any thermos you would usually get but instead ...
Advantages: Look like a bottle Disadvantages: Can leak
In my opinion Avent bottles look like a bottle should and have excellent wear and tear value.
I prefer the look of the Avent bottle compare to the tommie tippie (closer to nature) bottles as the tommie tippie teats look too natural and I am sure thats the point but I like a bottle to look like a bottle.
The Avent bottle wash well in the dishwasher, however you might not want to wash them with plates or saucepans that have just cooked Bolognese or curry as they do stain the color of the teats and lids.
They can leak from time to time, so make sure before you set off that you check it first otherwise you might end up with milk all over the place.
These bottle also work really well with the Avent pump. Just screw on and go.
The teats also come in different sizes for thicker liquids or hungrier babies. These are not cheap at around £4 ...
Advantages: No wind, no ear infections, no colic, teats don't collapse, doesn't contain Bisphenol A Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean, the price

The bottles consist of: a bottle cap, a teat, the bit the teat goes in, a travel cap, a green vacuumy thing, the tube that goes to the bottom of the bottle and the actual bottle. First job was to wash all these things in warm soapy water and sterlise them.
Washing the bottles does take longer than normal bottles obviously as there are more parts but they are not difficult to do. They come with a tiny brush for cleaning the small tubing parts and I bought some special foam teat and bottle brushes too.
As there are so many parts it can be hard to cram into your steriliser but I normally manage to fit all the parts of the four bottles I have in my 6 bottle microwave steriliser.
This is what I usually do. I clean the cap and the teat with the little teat sponge I have and put these in the sterliser as I go along. I clean the bit the teat goes ...
