Frequently asked questions

Can I warm breast milk in the microwave?

Yes. Under the new guidelines you can do this, provided you observe the following points:

Shake breast milk halfway through the warm-up time and again at the end. Never heat it above 50°C.

Test the temperature of the feed with a few drops on the inside of your wrist. However, we still recommend warming breast milk in a bowl of hot water.
