best way to warm milk for babies?

I use a stainless steal pan heated on the propane stove to heat my goat babies' milk replacer or goats milk. Most the time I just add hot tap water (we have a well and we're away from town enough its not got chemicals or whatever they add to your water in town) to the replacer and then pour into the milk bottles(I use some of my mom's old glass soda bottles, they work quite well). This works for me, I'm not sure how other people do it...

Adios! *wave*

Hot water bath here, too.

I use boiling water and put the baby bottles in there and it warms it up. It is easy way for me. And it works just fine..

I just put my bottles full of milk (old glass human baby bottles) in a pan of water on gas stove for 10 minutes. I just learned this yr to time it!

Hot water from the tap is the easiest and best. Do not Microwave. Microwaved food is more than just heated. There are health implications, study done years ago with feeding only microwaved food on (horrors), kids in an orphanage in India...

Microwave here also. Once the kids are older and all the kids who are sold go to their new home, than pasteurized milk is simply left on the back of the stove between milkings and fed room temp. I like starting kids off with warm milk and more frequent feedings. My bottles and lambar buckets all fit into my microwarve, which was bought because of this. Vicki

Probably pointless to chime in as you have gotten some great replies!

I use the warm water bath. I have microwaved bottles but that is real risky. It is way to easy to fry the milk. The volcano effect is rather cool if not for the fact the one is too harried trying to save kids to appreciate it.

I use regular baby bottles-for 1 I nuke it 30 seconds, put lid on and shake, nuke it another 30 seconds. Works great. After they get really good at taking the bottle I skip the second heating and just do it 30 seconds to break the chill off of cold milk.

We do the sit on counter thing sometimes and feed it room temp.

I don't subscribe to the whole microwave horror. Most people pasteurize milk (kill bacteria) for kid feeding-so what if microwaving kills some bacteria. I just would be careful not to overheat.

I use the microwave.
