I bottle fed with whole cows milk, just warmed bottles up like you would for your human baby. With all 4 kids I used milk from Braums, no issues at all. Enjoy your new babies!

You can warm the milk up in the microwave or put it in the bottle then stick in hot water to warm it up. Do not add water/dilute the milk. Ask your neighbor if his cows are tested for Johnnes.

If the neighbor doesn't test for Johnnes then you can just get whole milk from the grocery store. Warm to about 100 degrees every time, don't let the temp. fluctuate back & forth a lot.

You warm it just like you would for a human infant. Warm water on the stove with bottle in it.

If I dont have goat milk I use whole cow from the store.
Depending on your stove ( I dont use microwave for heating bottles cause of hot spots) boil water, turn off heat. Place bottle in the water about 4 minutes.
It should be warm on your wrist but not hot.
