True Story:  The doula we hired to come over the first week Bee was born had placed bottles in the fridge filled with formula and ready to go when Bee got hungry.  That night, no matter what I did Bee refused to take the bottle and I was frantic.  I told the doula what happened the next morning and she asked me if I had warmed the bottle up enough and I said, "I didn't know I had to warm it."  She had told me to use the bottles in the fridge and never once mentioned warming them so how was I - a new mom - supposed to know.

After the doula, we hired a baby nurse to stay with us and she showed us that she filled a bucket with hot water and let the bottle sit in it and warm up.  We did this for a few weeks at every feeding until a friend sent us a bottle warmer as a gift and it changed our lives!

The bottle warmer is a great invention.  You just put some water in the heating chamber drop the bottle in and press on and in a few minutes the bottle is warm and ready to go!

I highly recommend adding one to a baby registry.
