Has anyone tried these using a bottle warmer? Does the silicone sleeve start to stretch and does the bottle take longer to warm? Thanks!

My daughter's daycare uses a crockpot full of water to heat bottles during the day. After six weeks in daycare (using the same bottles daily, four days a week), I am noticing the sleeves are a bit stretched. I'm hoping they continue to fit. I could see how they could become loose enough to move around a lot and be a problem when feeding, so hopefully that doesn't happen. I love the bottles otherwise, though.

We don't use a bottle wArmer but heat bottles in a ceramic dish with hot water. We have no issues.

I just sit it in a bowl or cup of hot tap water. Glass is better at conducting heat than plastic so I haven't needed to steam the bottle in a bottle warmer to warm up the milk. The sleeve is fine. No issues. Very satisfied with this product. Definitely prefer the option of using the dishwasher as I hand wash all plastic bottles so I can reduce the leeching properties. My children really like this as a bottle and sippy cup.

Hi. I never used a bottle warmer, but i did take cover on and off frequently. It is pretty durable and did stretch a bit, but hasn't enough to not fit anymore. This was for my oldest who used these heavily until he was 2.5 and my current 1 y/o. Not sure what repeated heat would do to them but they are very sturdy. Hope that helps!

The sleeve stays put. Haven't had a problem with that. It does take longer to warm but worth it! Who wants those nasty chemicals that come with plastic bottles leaching into your baby's milk. Also I've used them for my daughter and then for my son, with no issues.

You need to p[lay with the water amounts a bit to get it right. I found that filling the plastic reservoir to the top would properly warm a bottle of about 8oz. If you are only warming 5oz than you should probably use about 1/2 that. Good luck!

I never tried a bottle warmer, but they wash well in the dishwasher. Not sure if that helps, but the dish washer gets pretty hot so it might be okay.

Hello, and thank you for your question about Take & Toss. Take & Toss products should not be used in bottle warmers. Thank you!

I think you could make it work that way but if its a hot liquid you will likely burn yourself since they retain heat so well. Best bottle I've ever owned!

I don't know. I don't use bottle warmers but these are convenient because they are microwave safe.

I think the lids don't always work well, especially when it comes to those cheaper items. Try keeping the bottle upright when it is in hot water, it generally melts pretty fast.

Yes. Silicone sleeve is pretty snug and doesn't come off easily which is great! I always just hand wash and never put it in the dishwasher as I fear that may ruin the sleeve.

Try wetting it with warm water and sliding it onto the bottle, I had to do this, and I left it on to stretch it out, it wasn't easy, but it did finally work! Good luck!

yes you could use the bottle warmer. We leave the bottle in the warmer for a minute or 2 and it'll be nice an warm. Depends on the warmer.

Yes. I used our bottle warmer with the bottles all the time, but I did reduce the time because stainless conducts heat more quickly than glass or plastic. Also, in a pinch, you can run hot water over the bottle, shake it, and have lukewarm milk/formula.

I don't see that there are any sleeves specifically for this bottle. I saw conflicting reviews regarding the Aquasana silicon sleeves. One reviewer said they fit, another said they did not. I personally did not want sleeves so I did not investigate any further. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer for you. Good luck.

It takes about 25-30 min depending on the type of bottle you're using. I'll say this warmer is more like a "keep it warm while traveling" system rather than warming up something that is cold while you drive. If you're gonna make a long trip can be good if you put it on advance but again if is not a long trip I don't really see the benefit since we can warm up the bottle on water before leaving home. Hope it helps you!

I have only used mine for cold drinks and they do a decent job of that in summer weather. I would have to guess they would work equally well with bottles of warm liquids for a period of time also. They aren't double walled like some containers you can buy else where and generally do keep hot/warm liquids warmer for a longer period of time.

Unfortunately, putting it in water is really the only way to successfully heat these. I personally didn't have a problem heating them that way. Can't put them in a bottle warmer (they will leak all over). Horrible bottle design, which is why I stopped using them. Too bad. The nipples are great.

I used cloth wipes as well but no warmer... I'm thinking if you use the directions to make a solution for a spray bottle then double it and mix it in a container you can add it to the warmer?

Hello,Yes, this bottle can be used for both hot and cold beverages. Take caution when using with hot liquids - the bottle will be hot.The silicone sleeve is protective, but does not guarantee against breakage - do not leave children unattended with bottle.Extreme temperature differences may cause cracking, allow a hot bottle to cool gradually before adding cold liquid.Do not put bottles in the freezer.Shelia
