Nature intended for babies to drink warm milk, so why not serve them what nature wants? Babies prefer warm milk over anything else because a mother’s breastmilk - your “liquid gold” - is at or near the average human body temperature of 98 degrees before it’s stored.
According to Dr. Jacqueline Winkelmann, a Pediatrician and former Chief of Staff at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, serving “cold breastmilk or formula might lower the body temperature of a newborn, which can be risky.” When a baby’s body temperature drops, oxygen use increases, putting stress on the tiny body. Your baby could become fussy, exhausted, and experience stomach aches.
Warming Your Breastmilk
Protect your liquid gold by warming it properly. When it’s time to warm your breast milk, stay away from the microwave – no matter what. It’s great for warming last night’s leftovers but will ruin the nutrients in breastmilk because of the high heat. Microwaves also don’t heat evenly which can be dangerous to your baby. According to a review from BabyGearLab,
“microwave ovens do not heat liquids evenly. Uneven heating could easily scald a baby or damage the milk. Also, bottles may explode if left in the microwave for too long.”
Yikes!
You’ll also want to avoid boiling a bottle in hot water. If you’re using a plastic bottle, you might run the risk of melting it. High heat can also deplete the nutrients in breastmilk, and waiting for the water to boil is just too time-consuming.
“The key to warming breast milk while preserving its full nutritional value is to avoid overheating,”
according to the BabyGearLab review. That’s what makes the Baby Brezza Safe + Smart Bottle Warmer the perfect bottle warmer to defrost and warm breastmilk.
Baby Brezza Safe + Smart Baby Bottle Warmer
The Baby Brezza Safe + Smart Baby Bottle Warmer is the safest and easiest way to defrost and warm your breastmilk and formula too. It is the only bottle warmer with two different settings to safely warm up both types of milk:
Steady Warm: uses a warm water bath to warm or defrost breastmilk, preserving its nutrients. Nearly all other bottle warmers only use steam heat to warm breastmilk, which is too hot and destroys proteins.
Quick Warm: uses steam heat to rapidly warm formula or baby food which can withstand higher temperatures produced by steam heating.
The Baby Brezza bottle warmer is also the only bottle warmer with Bluetooth. So you can use the FREE Baby Brezza app on your mobile device to operate the device and receive updates when your bottle is ready. That’s the “smart” part of the warmer.
What If My Baby Doesn’t Finish the Bottle?
Now that you’ve warmed your liquid gold, your baby can start drinking! If he or she doesn’t finish the whole bottle, you’ll want to dispose of the remains within 2 hours after the initial heating and feeding, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US. Refrigerating already warmed breastmilk is not recommended.
By following these do’s and don’ts, you’re ensuring your baby gets 100% of the goodness from your liquid gold!
