[quote=Anonymous]My baby is now 8 months and I'm almost done weaning him and slowly switching to formula.  I previously heated formula bottles in the microwave with my first baby.  However, it took me a lot of trial and error to figure out the microwave time. What do other people do vis a vis heating?   Yes, I know the technical rule is no microwave.  My understanding, though, is that that is a hard rule for breast milk but with formula the only concern is the risk of hot spots - Is that right? Or is there a concern about the break down of nutrients too?  (I never once fed my baby a hot bottle and I do not understand why this small risk would outweigh the convenience of microwaving!)

I have a formula pitcher that I premix in the morning and make the bottles up for the day.  Is there a better way to do this? My other thought is to buy a formula dispenser and warm up the water in the microwave and mix in the formula.  Eventually, i'd like to not heat the bottles up at all and just do it room temperature.  Does the formula not dissolve as well that way, though? [/quote]
