Penguin Nutritional Warmer

The Penguin Nutritional Warmer™ was developed by Jan Shields, a NICU nurse, to assist staff with effective and efficient milk warming, whether it be breastmilk or formula. Jan was frustrated by her inability to feed the babies in her care with consistently warmed milk. Her hospital’s practice of warming milk by placing it in a cup of hot water was very dependent on the temperature of the water coming out of the tap. Some days the water barely came out warm. Jan felt that the quality of her feedings were compromised by cold feeds.

With frustration fueling her creativity, Jan developed the prototype of what is now our Penguin Nutritional Warmer.

The Penguin:

• warms breastmilk or formula slowly and consistently to “Mom’s” temperature, the Neutral Thermal Zone; the ideal temperature for optimal enzyme and protein function
• vibrates the milk to keep it from separating and keep fortifiers suspended
• keeps milk warm for 30 minutes
• can thaw milk to refrigerator temperature so it can be stored for up to 24 hours

Thanks Jan for your foresight! Now all babies can enjoy warm milk just as if it came from Mom!
