How to Warm Comotomo Bottles: 3 Easy & Safe Methods

As a mother, I understand the importance of having a warm bottle ready for your little one, especially during those late night feedings. That’s why I wanted to share some tips on how to warm Comotomo bottles. Whether you’re on the go or at home, it’s essential to have a quick and safe method to warm up your baby’s bottle. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite techniques for warming Comotomo bottles, so you can be prepared no matter where you are.

Why is it difficult to warm or heat Comotomo bottles?

Parents commonly struggle while heating Comotomo bottles. These bottles are different from the ones made from glass or plastic. Comotomo bottles are made up of silicone – which is a good heat resistant. It’s not easy to warm bottles made with heat-resistant silicone material. That is why Comotomo bottles will take time to warm and heat due to their silicone structure. 

What are the different ways to warm Comotomo bottles?

This is a common question that parents often ask. The answer is, because of their heat-resistant material, Comotomo bottles will take up to 3-6 minutes to warm, no matter what method you choose. There are three common ways of warming Comotomo bottles. 

1. In a bottle warmer

You can only warm Comotomo bottles in the bottle warmer if they fit in. Comotomo bottles, unlike the ordinary slim-long milk bottles, have a wide neck that makes it difficult to fit in most bottle warmers. You can use bottle warmers with a wide opening to warm the milk for your baby. 

Additionally, the silicone material takes 5 to 10 minutes to heat the milk, then the other plastic bottles.

You can heat the milk in any plastic bottle and transfer it later to Comotomo bottles.

2. With a microwave

You can warm or sterilize Comotomo bottles in the microwave as they are microwave safe. There are a few things that you must keep in mind if you’re using a microwave for heating Comotomo bottles:

• The milk in the microwave does not warm uniformly. Hence it can create a hot patch to burn your baby. So stir the milk well before feeding. 
• Microwave steaming should be kept on minimum heat to refrain from destroying enzymes and beneficial bacteria in the milk from overheating.

3. In hot water

You can also boil Comotomo bottles in hot running water or boiling water. Because of their silicone material, Comotomo bottles can withstand high boiling temperatures. 

To heat Comotomo bottles in boiling water, you need to reach an even higher boiling point than with ordinary plastic bottles. It could take 10-15 minutes to warm Comotomo bottles in boiling water.

Why is it essential to use a bottle warmer?

How does a bottle warmer work?

There are two ways of working on a bottle warmer:

1. Steam heat – this method involves a water reservoir to create steam and warm the milk bottles. This method is quick and even.
2. Water bath – this method involves water heating. It circulates the water inside the warmer, gradually and steadily increasing the temperature of the bottle inside.
