It is best to heat baby bottles in a pan of water on the stove. If you do use a microwave, shake the baby s bottle after warming to make sure the liquid is evenly heated. Then, test the formula by dripping a little onto the inside of your wrist. It should feel just warm. Loosen the lid of any container before heating in the microwave.
Overheated bottles can explode.
They can explode and cause serious burns to people s eyes and face. Do not use a microwave to boil water. A cup of water heated in a microwave can over-heat without boiling. The water may explode out of the cup when you take it from the oven. If you do heat water in a microwave, put a wooden or microwave-safe plastic spoon in the cup.
