Heating baby bottles in microwave

What is the problem with that?

i don't know. It's the quickest and easiest way to heat up a bottle. But the comments from family have me worried I'm doing something really dangerous. I only warm it up so it is luke warm, so burns are not an issue. Is there some other danger? I don't want to put my baby at risk.

Idk I just assumed that’s what you do. I said I was going to get a bottle warmer and everyone told me that was stupid because I can just use the microwave. If it’s too hot you just wait. Idk sounds like overreacting

I purchased a bottle warmer just to hate it lol. So I would heat a bowl of water then take the mixed formula bottle & sit it in the bowl & swirl until right. They also don't need warm bottles after 3mo old. It's all preference at that point. Not cold either, room temp lol. I got picked on for doing the bowl thing by family "Where's your bottle warmer?" I'm like 👀 I'm her mother, thank you" 🤣 I would never put a baby bottle in the microwave. If that's what they are saying lol

So here in the US it is said not to use a microwave to heat up bottles because the water could feel cool at the top of the bottle or lukewarm and be scorched at the bottom. So more or less the bottles can get hot spots and burn baby's mouth. But I know different countries have different guidelines 🤷

I do the same , and give it a good shake to make sure no hot spots. Had no issues so far.

It literally takes less than 15 seconds when I do mine so no way it will get hot enough to burn.

Yes! Exactly 😀

I sometimes use the microwave to heat up a pre made bottle as long as it's over 120 ml and heating only for 10-15 seconds. It just takes the coldness off. I shake it well so that there are no hot spots.

I didn't know you can heat premade formula.

i bought one too but it takes so long to heat up and doesn't off automatically so if you forget it stays on heating which worries me safety wise.

I think the rule not to microwave has something to do with the microwave and the plastic. Microwaves are generally not the best in terms of emitting radiation and such.

I use a bowl of boiling water and swirl my bottle in that to warm it up.

I use powdered formula, so I boil water in the morning and then cool it to the temp I want. Then I keep it in a thermos and use that to make my bottles so that it's always the perfect warm temp.
