Heating breast milk

Maintenance and storage of bottles

If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot
water.
Heat the bottle with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot
water or in a bottle warmer. Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from
the bottle.
Always stir or shake heated food to ensure even heat distribution and test
the temperature before serving. Take extra care when you heat up food in a
microwave as heating food in a microwave oven may produce localized high
temperatures.
Note: We do not recommend heating breast milk in the microwave because
when breast milk becomes too warm, nutrients and vitamins are damaged.
Note: You can purchase and use Philips Avent bottle warmer to heat up the
milk.
Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple before each use and pull the feeding
nipple in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the first
signs of damage or weakness. For hygiene reasons, we recommend
replacing nipples after 3 months. Keep nipples in a dry, covered container.
When not in use, do not leave the nipples in sunlight or heat, or leave in
disinfectant ('sterilizing solution') for longer than recommended, as this may
weaken the nipple. Do not place in a heated oven. Store the bottles in a dry
location.
