Put the bottle in a cup of HOT water or bowl of hot water for 5 minutes or so and it heats it up to the right temp.

my baby screams all the way til i heat up the milk... anyway to heat up expressed b/m faster, anyone?? And then he fusses a lot. I have to calm him down before he would eat. help!!

just got a great book called better baby food . its something done from the childrens hospital. they say NEVER us hot water or a microwave. it recks something. anyway your suposed to use warm water. the book also said that crying was the last sign of hunger and when they r sucking on their hand or open there mouth when there cheeks r touch r some of the first signs that they r hungry.

You are not suppose to use HOT water or the microwave to heat breast milk it destroys some of the anit-infection properties and affects the Vitamin C. From all the books and websites I have read the most effective way to heat b/m is with warm water. I use a steamer bottle warmer and it seems to heat it slowly so it never gets HOT. But if your baby will drink the cold b/m I say go for it. My daughter won't take it cold, but she has just begun to take a bottle.

yeah no hot water or microwave. they destroy the nutrients in the milk. you can use a bottle warmer. it warms it to room temp. crying is a last sign of hunger so learning how to recognize hunger signs will help you out.

when I warmed breast milk I would turn on warm water and put a large mouth cup in the bottom of sink with water streaming into cup ....then put your bottle of breast milk into cup..... to warm it even faster I would shake or swirl the milk in the bottle while it sat in the water this worked wonders for me and it did not take long .......perfect temp everytime!!
