When my husband and I took a baby-care class before the birth of our son, the woman teaching it told us to let the baby adapt to our lifestyle, rather than adapting our life to the baby’s. The idea is great in theory; however, even keeping some normalcy when a baby arrives comes with all sorts of things you may not have planned for. One of those things is—if you’re not breastfeeding, or are exclusively pumping—how to warm up a bottle while you’re out and about.
We’ve gathered some of the best portable bottle warmers.

1. Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Travel Bottle & Food Warmer
The Tommee Tippee Travel Bottle Warmer is basic, but reliable. Fill the thermos with warm water before heading out, then use the carafe to warm up the bottle while you’re on the road. It’s the perfect all-in-one solution.

2. Chicco Digital Bottle Warmer
I really wish I had registered for this bottle warmer when I was expecting! It’s a bottle warmer with no water involved, and you just enter the bottle size and state of the milk (cold, frozen, etc.); the warmer does the rest! It also features a countdown display to let you know how much time is left. Compact and convenient, you’ll be wanting to throw this into your diaper bag. Be warned, if you’re planning to use breastmilk storage bags, you can’t heat up the bags.
