We love this little German invention, it’s a Paul and Stella self-warming baby bottle that you can take anywhere. By clicking a button on the bottom the bottle it will heat up the water ready for you to add formula or heat up your breastmilk. It has a handy thermometer so you can accurately read the temperature and will keep the bottle warm for up to an hour.
And best of all it doesn't need electricity or batteries, perfect for the mum on the move
