How do you heat up your milk?

Either leave to defrost in fridge and she drinks cold, or defrost in warm water (tends to be more room temp then). I don’t use boiling water.
I have a milk warmer for breast milk. We use Mam bottles which aren’t suitable to be submerged in water
@Donna Woods see I've used MAMs bottles for 13 months and always submerger them. Maybe I've been lucky but only had 3 occasions where it's not been okay. I give nursery her milk in milk bags, so they heat it up in them before transferring to the bottle.
@Alexis I do wish my daughter would take cold milk, she doesn't even like cows milk cold. Cereal must be warm or its not eaten
@Rhiann my daughter won't touch cold milk. She will with her full force smack the bottle across the room if its not warm enough (it's quiet impressive). Make it warmer and she does her cute little grunting churp noise she makes when she is happy
Aren’t milk storage bags suitable to put in hot/warm water?
Frozen milk I defrost in the bag with hot water in a bowl. If it's in the bottle I have a bottle warmer. Although I did a KIT day at work the other day and my partner tried defrosting her milk using the milk warmer. Took him 25 minutes and she was screaming 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Men!
We have a bottle warmer, but I have used MAM bottles in hot water before and they were fine (but only when we didn't have the warmer to hand!)
Water should not be boiling, but hot and steamy is okay.
I have a steam bottle warmer. My little guy drinks it at any temperature I recently learned 🤐 I will admit as a FTM I thought I HAD to heat it 😂
