The Best Diaper Bag Essentials for New Parents

The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Portable Baby Bottle Warmer has a simple design that doesn’t require electricity or batteries. It’s the right size to slip into most diaper bags with dimensions of 3.94 inches by 3.63 inches by 7.69 inches. It’s an ideal low-tech way to warm a bottle when at the park, camping, in the car, or otherwise unable to plug in or set up a traditional bottle warmer. Use it by pouring boiling water into the stainless steel carafe, screw the top on tightly, and store it in a diaper bag. When the time comes to feed a baby, simply pour the hot water into the roomy lid and place the bottle of milk or formula in the lid to warm. Before feeding a baby, shake the bottle well and be sure to check the temperature. It can be used to safely warm breast milk or jarred baby food.

It comes with a built-in feed bowl to serve infants, and the grinder separates seeds and skins from the puree to ensure babies don’t digest something they shouldn’t. This baby food maker is also safe to clean in the dishwasher alongside other dishes and utensils.
