Did you find bottle warmers necessary?

Question

I'm not sure if they are really even necessary, but assuming they are too convenient to pass over, do they work for tall bottles? Do you have to get one that matches your brand of bottle?

Answer

Philips Avent Fast Baby Bottle Warmer, SCF355/00
Using this to warm the breast milk bottle from fridge . Works well and I think it’s so much convenient compared to pour hot water in cup and soak it  !

Answer

NUK Perfect Fit Baby Bottle, Boy, 5 Ounce (Pack of 3) ( Packaging may vary )
You don’t even have to heat your bottle, room temp is perfectly fine. 
You also shouldn’t use a microwave, they heat unevenly & can cause hot spots that could potentially burn baby. If you want to warm the bottle up, I’d either run it under hot water in the sink or fill a saucepan & heat it that way.

Answer

Munchkin High Speed Bottle Warmer, Orange/White, 1 Count
I didn’t plan on having a bottle warmer but received a munchkin one as a gift and it definitely ended up being one of our most used items. I typically used it with the bottles from my Medela pump, which are on the smaller side, but I think it can handle larger bottles as well. You just have to make sure you keep it full of water or it will smell like burnt plastic. I didn’t find the extra minute or two over the microwave to be an issue.

Answer

Kiinde Kozii Baby Bottle Warmer and Breast Milk Warmer for Warming Breast Milk, Infant Formula and B
They’re definitely helpful, but not required. We used a Kiinde warmer like this one because it’s open at the top, wide enough for all bottles, and it keeps a reservoir of water so it doesn’t need to be filled very often. It swirls the warm water around the bottle to avoid hot spots and it’s safe for breastmilk. I haven’t tried any other warmer brands, but I’m sure the open Avent one or other similar ones are great as well. You don’t need to buy a specific warmer based on the brand, unless you use something like the Nanobebe bottles which have a special warmer to fit their odd shape.

Answer

New, Modern Design- Tommee Tippee Easi-Warm Bottle & Food Warmer, White
I don't recommend this, I just couldn't respond without posting a link....if you have easy access to a microwave, it takes way less time to use a microwave. It takes several minutes to heat up my son's 6 oz bottle vs. 30 seconds in the microwave.

Answer

Philips Avent Soothie Snuggle Pacifier, 0-3 Months, Elephant, SCF347/03
PLEASE don't use a microwave! The main issue is that it can create hot spots and burn the baby, even if you think you have mixed the bottle well enough after warming it. This is a really basic safety thing and any professional will tell you such. 
The other issue, which applies only to breast milk, is that the heat created by the microwave can denature all those proteins that actually do have very important function. 
Another option you have is to not warm bottles. Every baby is different, but I know many moms who only give cold bottles, or just warm them enough to take the chill of the fridge off, but they aren't at room or body temp. The baby just knows that if it's a bottle it will be this temp and if it's straight from the boob, it will be warm. My guy was totally fine with that method and it's way less work, especially if you travel a lot and don't want to deal with warming bottles and all that production.

Answer

You don’t need one but are convenient. I have the philips avent and use the cups to warm the water then pour it into the bottle inlet because the bottles are thicker so take a little longer to warm.
