Yoomi – A Feeding Revolution

How did you come to know about Yoomi?

I was passed a set of the Yoomi self-warming bottle and an extra warming pod for the purpose of this review. However, it does not in any way affect my review and the opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

This was the first time I’ve heard about Yoomi and the packaging itself differentiated it from the other baby bottles on the market. Besides the standard parts that you would normally find when buying a baby bottle, there was an extra pod and warmer inside.

What would you say is so special about Yoomi?

Yoomi is the first self-warming baby bottle on the market. According to yoomi.com, this revolutionary product is able to gently warm your baby’s feed to the natural temperature of breast milk in just 60 seconds.

It’s also user-friendly with its 3-step approach:

1. Charge the warmer – this can be done in 2 minutes using a microwave oven or 30 minutes in a pan of boiling water.
2. When it’s time to feed, simply press the button on the warmer to start warming.
3. Just wait for 60 seconds and voila, your baby can now be fed!

The warmer also stays warm for 1 hour in case your baby doesn’t finish the feed at one go. It even comes with a nifty chart for you to mark how many times you’ve charged the warmer!

How was your experience with the Yoomi self-warming bottle?

For this review, I tested the Yoomi when I was out shopping with my girl and even at a wedding, as she prefers to latch directly when we’re at home.

Pros:

• I like that there is more than 1 way to charge the warmer – as I do not own a microwave oven, I put the warmer into a pan of boiling water for 30 minutes to charge it.
• I no longer have to lug around a thermal bag with her feed and worry about it getting cold. Now my baby can have a warm feed each time.
• With this Yoomi bottle, it does allow me to dress as I please and not be too concerned about dressing to nurse her in public.

Cons:

• The warmer does tend to add a bit of weight to the bottle, but this is a minor drawback when compared to the convenience.
• 30 minutes is a relatively long time to charge the pod. The mitigating factor is that multiple warmers can be charged at one go.
• Once the warmer is charged, it takes about an hour to cool down (using the warmer when it’s still hot may damage the product). So, a bit of planning ahead is needed.

Conclusion:

• It does indeed bring convenience to parents who bottle feed their babies as they can dispense with having a separate warmer at home and thermal bags when they’re out and about.
• As it warms the milk up in 60 short seconds, night-time feeds will also become more bearable for parents who are already surviving on little sleep.
• Having said that, parents eyeing this should bear in mind that having more than one warmer will make it even more effective.
