warming milk - silly question?

[belindarose]

I'm considering trying to replace DD's (14mo) pre-bed bf with a cup of cow's milk, to begin easing my necessary presence out of the bedtime routine. She likes cold milk in a cup but was planning on warming it. Should I warm it 'properly' in a pan or do you just warm it in a jug of hot water like you would a bottle? Feel silly having to ask this!

You can always pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and give it a good shake. No harm in that.

No microwave!

Then I would just give it to her cold if that is how she likes it. I couldn't be bothered with the phaff of warming in a pan and cleaning it after or leaving it in a jug to warm but it's entirely up to you. DS, who is 2yrs old now and BFed drinks cows milk also and when I give him cows milk I ask him whether he wants it warm or cold and he usually asks for it cold.

I'm not really sure why I'm thinking of giving it to her warm anyway! I won't start tonight as she's been with CM all day so hasn't BFed since 5am. Don't know if my breasts would cope! Or if she would. Thanks.
