Microwaving a new born baby's bottle  

I personally do not know what effects on health it has to microwave drinks for babies, but I have known many mothers who have done this. I guess the most important thing is what is actually being microwaved i.e are all the plastics safe to microwave and does microwaving have any effect on the foodstuff which is being subjected to the microwave?

It is very dangerous to heat a babies bottle in the microwave. The milk inside doesn't heat evenly in the microwave, so it may feel warm on the outside, but it could be very hot in the middle.

I always heated my babies bottles in hot water from the tap. I put them in a container and ran hot water over the bottles until the milk was luke warm.

yes,I usually use microwaving to heat my dishware.
very quickly .

I would never microwave baby anything; bottle, food, cereal, etc. (I actually don't own a microwave). It heats unevenly and could burn in some spots. When mine were infants, I would microwave a cup of water and sit the bottle in the cup to heat up. Once we moved I just heated water on the stove and put the bottle in that. While the water is heating, I'd use those few minutes for diaper changes, and little clean ups. It seemed more "mommy-like" to change the baby and dance around while the bottle was heating instead of quickly "pacifying" the baby with the bottle.

I personally feel that microwaving a baby's bottle specially if it is plastic is not right, if it is glass then still it is all right. People do not because of being lazy but when hungary child cry a lot and to do it quickly this quick microwaving is done. I feel this should be avoided.

Microwaves heat differently by wattage. I would never find it ok to use the micro wave. That milk could be scalding hot in the bottle. You could test it and it be ok. Than the babies goe to drinking and hollering and you not know why.

I used to do it for my daughter who is now 7yrs old. Just remember to shake the bottle after you take it out the microwave so there will be no hot spots in the milk or formula. I am due to have another baby in one week and I will heat this baby's bottle in the microwave as well.

I dont think there are any side effects to doing this so i believe that its fine.

I wouldn't microwave a baby's bottle I really have always thought it was unsafe. Microwaves are linked to radiation I have heard. This is just my opinion.

I did find this information about microwaving a baby's bottle (formula).

I was told that heating a babies bottle in the microwave can burn a babies mouth. Parts of the formula will get hotter than others. I would not do something life that. I don't trust it. I have also read that you should not do this.
