bottle and food warmer still available? how much it?
eikha: I don’t know how much, but if it is still available you should not buy it, coz it is being recalled. Buy other brands lah! But then, the best way is really to soak in hot water – economical and effective. Unless you come from 4 season countries, if you are in Tropical, then don’t have to buy one.
