  "title": "Bottle warmer settings compared with actual milk temperature",
  "question": "Do bottle warmer temperature settings match the real temperature the milk reaches?",
  "answer": "The First Years Y7864 / Y7864A2: In the round-up's tests, most runs produced a bottle warm enough at about 8 minutes, and following instructions did not overheat it even after 12 minutes. It varied between about 8 and 11 minutes to reach at least 80°F. It scored 8.7 for health and safety, its strongest category, because it is unlikely to overheat milk.\nDr. Brown's Natural Flow MilkSPA Breast Milk & Bottle Warmer with Even and Consistent Warming: The maker says the even and consistent warming follows CDC and USDA guidelines to best preserve nutrients in breast milk. It says the warmer has pre-programmed settings for frozen, refrigerated, and room-temperature milk, plus manual time adjustment. It has auto shut-off and timer features designed to prevent overheating.\nDr. Brown's Insta-Feed™ Baby Bottle Warmer and Sterilizer (Model Number AC184; SKU AC184): The reviewer used it over a baby's first year and says the 80-second warming claim is not exaggerated, warming bottles quickly and evenly without overheating milk; the sterilizing feature is described as eliminating common bacteria, mold and yeast. The review verdict is that steam warming is efficient, the footprint is tiny, and controls are simple, though users must learn the right water measure and there is no digital temperature readout.",
