Baby & Mommy Must-haves Event #8: The self-warming baby bottle ~ Yoomi Review & Giveaway

Every new parent knows how overwhelming it can be to have an unhappy baby who is hungry when you're out and about...particularly if you have a difficult time finding a place to warm your baby's bottle.

Farah and Jim, a mom and dad who found themselves stumbling around the kitchen in the early hours and begging waiters for hot water when out and about, inspired them to look for a better solution when it came to warming their baby's bottle. These instances probably sound all too familiar to many of us parents! The combination of Farah's inspiration and Jim's engineering skills...the couple took expert and the help from friends and family, to create Yoomi, the bottle that can warm expressed breast milk or premixed formula in just 60 seconds.

Features/Benefits:

• Yoomi is currently available in a 5oz & 8oz bottle size with slow, medium and fast flow teats.
• Warms expressed breast milk and premixed formula in just 60 seconds
• Rechargeable warmer x 100, no plugs, no batteries
• Tested to rigorous safety standards
• Makes combining breast and bottle easier
• Use bottle alone or with the warmer
• BPA free
• Bottles, teats and warmers are interchangeable across the range
• Charge it and it stays that way until you use it
• Breast-like anti-colic teat for easy latch-on
• For 0+ months

After learning more about Yoomi, I could definitely see how this would come in handy for parents with baby and couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to check it out for ourselves.

When the Yoomi feeding bottle with warmer arrived, I couldn't wait to open it and check out all it had to offer.

Upon opening the container, I found user-friendly instructions that helped me see just how easy the Yoomi is to use in just 3 easy steps. First, you must charge the warmer. To do this, simply place the warmer in a pan of water (or steam sterilizer) and boil it for 25 minutes. Once charged, your warmer stays charged until you use it.

The next step is pushing the orange button. When it's time to feed, simply fill your bottle with expressed breast milk or pre-mixed formula. Assemble the bottle and push the orange button.

And step number three is to wait 60 seconds and begin feeding.

There are many things I love about Yoomi! The quality is fantastic, and I love that safety was kept in mind with making sure that it is BPA-free. As someone who breastfeeds my babies, I also appreciate that it makes combining breast and bottle easier with the breast-like anti-colic teat for easy latch-on. One of the main things that stands out to me about Yoomi though, is how convenient it is for moms. Whether you're on the go or feeding late-night...it's an easy way to feed your baby the perfect temperature breastmilk or formula anytime, anywhere. No more having to search for hot water...this self-warming baby bottle makes it possible in just 60 seconds.

I would definitely recommend checking out Yoomi to new moms. Not only is it the perfect way to warm your baby's bottle, but the Yoomi bottle also combines style, comfort and is a great bottle on its own too. I think it would be a great baby shower gift!
