New baby bottle heats up the milk

Before feeding a baby milk out of a bottle it needs to be warmed up, which can be a tedious task for a tired parent, which is why the new gadget Yoomi may be of considerable aid.

The unique product which is the recipient of many research and innovation awards automatically heats up baby milk to the exact temperature of breast milk simply by touching the on button.

It takes just one minute for the Yoomi to warm the milk to 32-34 Celsius.

The inventors behind the Yoomi, Farah and Jim Shaikh said they got the idea for the product after waiting for milk to warm in the morning hours and practically begging waiters to bring them hot water to warm up a baby bottle for their oldest son.

It took six years for the gadget to go from a sketch on a pub napkin to a real invention but now after testing it on their second son it has hit the market.

The gadget contains a sealed warming unit that is beneath the teat inside of the bottle so that when you turn it on with the touch of the button the solution is warmed inside the warmer which then warms the milk as it passes through the chamber.

Nurse and independent breast feeding counsellor Clare Byam-Cook hailed the device stating that its convenience and safety will make new parents’ lives much simpler.

The feeder and bottle costs around £20 and can be purchased from John Lewis which also sells a two teat pack for £4.50.
