Sometimes, young fathers must take care of the baby independently.
What They Do?
When the mother is not available, the father uses pre-collect breast milk. Heating milk from the fridge with a special bottle heater.
What They Need?
There is a time when the father brings the baby out along
They will still need to feed the baby with the hot milk.
What if there is a portable heating bottle with simple control so young fathers can use it while they bring the baby out?
