ComoTomo bottles are one of the top picks among new parents for their wide neck design commonly accepted by breastfed babies and how easy they are to clean! They are soft and squeezy to mimic mother’s breast, but also work fantastic for formula fed babies for their ease of use. They are unique in that the bottle itself is also made of high quality food-grade silicone, which is what makes them squeezable!
Comotomo was my daughter’s favorite bottle after she stopped using Dr. Brown bottles. We used the Dr. Brown’s in the very beginning to help with pace feeding since I was also breastfeeding her. But we were so happy to switch over to Comotomo because of how much faster they were to clean!
Because of the special design of comotomo baby bottles, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to find a bottle warmer to properly fit the bottles. In this post, we’ll go over all of the best bottle warmers for Comotomo bottles. And also what things you should consider when trying to decide which one will be right for you and your family.
This post reflects the new and recent updates baby product companies have made to their bottle warmers!
Importance of a Bottle Warmer
You shouldn’t microwave your baby’s bottle because it can cause inconsistent warming and hot spots which can be dangerous for your baby. It’s also not good for breast milk as it damages the nutrients and antibodies in the milk.
One option some people use rather than a bottle warmer would be leaving a bottle to sit in really hot water. The main problem with this is it’s not as effective as a bottle warmer and can also lead to inconsistent warming and hot spots.
Best Bottle Warmer for Comotomo Bottles
Comotomo recommends eight bottle warmers for their bottles which include: Philips Avent Express, Kiinde Kozii, Munchkin High-Speed, Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature, The First Years Quick Serve, Born-Free Tru Temp, Cuisinart BW-10, and Boon Orb.
However, some of them are hard to find or have been updated. It appears that Tommee Tippee updated their Closer to Nature bottle warmer to the Easi-Warm. I’ve included the ones below that I have tested and would recommend out of that list. I have also included two other popular portable options used among parents for Comotomo Bottles.
1. Philips Avent Express Bottle Warmer
- Heats gently and evenly to prevent hot spots
- Light that indicates progress and when milk is ready
- Keeps milk warm for up to an hour and then automatically shuts off
- Works with most other bottle brands and also baby food jars
- Defrost setting for frozen breast milk
- Compact design
The Philips Avent bottle warmer boasts a 5 oz bottle of milk can be heated in 3 minutes. The directions also state if using a silicone bottle (ex. Comotomo) when the entire indicator light is on wait an extra 3-4 minutes. This makes the heat up time a bit better or just about average for other bottle warmers on the market.
I will say this is the bottle warmer we used with our ComoTomo bottles for my daughter and we loved it.
2. Kiinde Kozii Bottle Warmer
- Uses flowing warm water bath to heat milk rather than steam heat
- Heats breast milk at a consistent temperature to preserve nutrients and antibodies
- Auto shut-off feature
- Compatible to heat baby food
- Defrosts frozen breast milk
- Onboard water reservoir so you don’t have to measure or add water with each use
- Compact design
- One of the more expensive options $$$
3. Munchkin High-Speed Bottle Warmer
- Steam warming system that can heat breast milk, formula, and baby food
- On/off indicator with auto shut off
- Alarm sounds and system automatically shuts off when ready
- Heats bottles as quickly as 90 seconds (may take a little longer for silicone bottles)
- Lift out basket to easily pull bottles from the water
Many parents rave about this option for how quickly it warms the milk. But on the other hand, some parents complain about the milk getting too hot and it being too high temperature. Just ensure you follow the directions properly and only heat for the amount of ounces that are in the bottle.
4. Tommee Tippee Easi-Warm Bottle Warmer

Things to Consider When Choosing the Right Warmer for Your Family
I feel like every parent who warms a bottle is going to have that moment where they have a crying baby and wishing their bottle warmer to heat up faster! Or the stumble to the kitchen in the middle of the night, trying to turn the bottle warmer on while still half asleep.
When choosing which of these bottle warmers for ComoTomo bottles is best for you and your family, here are a few things you may want to consider.
Temperature
A temperature control function may be important to you if you want to use it to defrost frozen breast milk. In that case, the Philips Avent Express, Kiinde Kozii, or Dr. Brown’s MilkSPA would be the best choice for you.
Ease of Use
If you don’t mind your bottle warmer having multiple functions and buttons, this may not bother you. But if you’re looking for something that you can just pop a bottle in and press very few buttons, then you may like the Philips Avent Express, Kiinde Kozii, Tommee Tippee Easi-Warm, Munchkin 98° Digital, or Baby’s Brew.
Speed
If you have a hungry baby that’s always ready for their bottles RIGHT NOW and you’re looking for something that will heat your bottles quickly, then you might like the Munchkin High-Speed bottle warmer.
Safety Features
An automatic shut off may be an important feature to you if you like to put the bottle on to be warmed in advance if your baby follows a schedule. This ensures the bottle won’t get too hot if you leave it in the warmer. The best bottle warmers with auto shut off includes the Philips Avent Express, Kiinde Kozii, Munchkin High-Speed, Boon Orb, Dr. Brown’s MilkSPA, and Munchkin 98° Digital.
Portability
If you’re on the go a lot and your baby likes a warm bottle, then portability will be really important to you! The Baby’s Brew and Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Travel bottle warmer would be great options!
The Baby’s Brew is even more convenient because you can just throw it in the diaper bag and not worry about filling it up with water ahead of time. But if you’re looking for a more affordable option and don’t mind that step, then the Tommee Tippee would work perfect for you.
Compact Design
A compact design is really helpful even if you don’t have limited counter space. I don’t know about you, but I don’t love a bunch of bulky appliances sitting on my counters. Most of these bottle warmers listed have a compact design, but if you’re looking for something that doesn’t take up much space, a good option would be the Munchkin 98° Digital, Baby’s Brew, Philips Avent Express, or Kiinde Kozii.
Multi-Purpose
Some baby bottle warmers can serve for multiple purposes. This can be really convenient so you only need one appliance. If you want to use your bottle warmer to warm breast milk, formula, baby food jars, glass bottles, or food pouches then you might like the Philips Avent Express, Kiinde Kozii, Tommee Tippee Easi-Warm, The First Years Simple Serve, and Dr. Brown’s MilkSPA.
Picking the right bottle warmer for your family is a personal decision, and not one warmer is right for everyone! These 10 baby bottle warmers listed above are the best bottle warmers for Comotomo bottles. Hopefully you will find one with the right features to make your life easier! I truly think ComoTomo bottles are some of the best bottles on the market and I’m sure if you’ve find your way here you love them too (or you will soon)!
