Product question - bottle warmer like a teasmaid?

Hello, best friend has week old DD, beautiful. On FF as has leukemia, and was asking me today if there's something like a teasmaid that she can buy - that keeps the bottle cool at night and then at the flick of a switch, heats it. So whilst the bum is being done, milk could be heating. Anyone heard of this? Or something that could do the job. I BF our two, so have no experience in this area. She's had a section and wants to be able to help at night, and not have her DH do literally all day and all night.

Thank you for your guidance!

It might be easier to use Ready to Feed formula for the nights for the next few weeks tho.

Official guidance is that formula powder is mixed with water at 70° then cooled to feed to prevent bacterial growth occurring.

Thank you MoneyNoPockets, looks fab. Will be sending her the link.
And thank you too for ready to feed - you mean cartons yes? She's already got that, lots of it! Looks useful, if not expensive.
THank you

Yes, cartons can be fed at room temp.

Flask of hot water? That's what I did, it'll cool down overnight. Not too hot mind. Much cheaper.

I used a timer plug for my Avent sterilizer so that I had equipment ready for pumping in the morning. Would that be any use?
