As dd is going to have a formula feed tonight I have dusted off the electric bottle warmer. Dh insists we should fill it with water but I dont remember doing so when I used it for ds 4 years ago. Do you use it dry or with water???

yes i think so, google for the make and they might be a user guide or something.hth

Yes definitely. We had an Avent and you put the bottle in and then add cold water to about half way up the bottle.

sounds like you have a definite case of baby brain bunny2

ahh .. bollocks .. stick it in the microwave and give it a good shake

galaxy · 15/12/2004 22:15

agree...40 seconds in the microwave followed by a good shake, (the bottle not you) is the best bet

those bottle warmers (we had an avent one) take up to 9 minutes to heat through

a few solutions to your ghosty problem

.. bring the microwave upstairs

or send DH downstairs

or serve it room temp .. just add the powder and shake whilst upstairs (I never heated DS's bottles just used room-temp water) .. you'll need one of those formula containers but its easy honest

I have sent dh downstairs before but he is such a heavy sleeper it takes too long to wake him by which time dd is screaming at full volume and waking ds. I shall try room temp water - has to be the easiest solution. Cheers Twigs.
