Another question about expressed milk - How to heat it?

[mama2moo]

I have been expressing into storage bags and keeping it in the fridge. Dp will use it tonight to give dd a feed so I can get some sleep.

I have about 6 bags as to start with I was expressing at the wrong time and only getting a tiny amount. Now I am getting 2 ounzes!

So, should I put it into a bottle and put that in boiling water? Should you heat it whilst still in the bags before mixing?

Thanks

could you run the bottle under tap?

how warm is bm anyway? [div emoticon]

No need to warm it - just defrost (obv!).

Thats what I thought, it cant be that warm can it? I think I will put it in a bottle and heat it a bit with water.

It hasnt been frozen tiktok just in the fridge.

I find it easier to warm it in the bag in a bowl of warm water. I's quicker than warming the bottle and easier to tell when the milk is warm. I then pour it into the bottle (and check temp of course).

It's already defrosted? Then it doesn't need to be warmed, I promise you, unless you have a fussy baby who really doesn't like it cold.

I do indeed have a fussy baby! He has been v grumpy when offered it cold before

I will try it cold and see what happens. If she doesnt like it I will warm it but it would be much easier to not need to! Thanks.
