Heating up mam bottles

Following as I am unsure of same thing

A bottle warmer, or you can use them in the microwave also just remove the teat and lid, but not for long as it can create hot spots in the milk less than 30 seconds will do the trick.

I know you apparently don’t need to heat up breast milk and can give it straight from fridge (my little girls doesn’t like straight from fridge though) however I believe the ring is removable so maybe don’t put the ring in until the milk is warm however I know when the ring is not in the bottles seem to leak a little more so be careful while mixing

@Julia you need to keep the ring in, milk will just pour out as the base has holes to allow air out, the ring stops liquid from coming out

I used to express and bag my milk then I could run the tap over the breast milk bag for a small amount of time, it warmed it up quicker than waiting for the kettle or fill a little bowl and pop it in it doesn’t take long at all.

This is the advice for the MAM bottles being soaked in water too, I personally never had a problem when putting them in water but was easier to warm it up when it’s in the bag. “You can cool the mam bottles the old fashioned way by putting them in cold water but just make sure you take the lid off and teat so the water doesn't get drawn up into the air holes”

I’ve definitely heated up a MAM bottle in a jug of boiling water. I didn’t know you shouldn’t do this 🫣

@Jami I use the bottle warmer, just found out I'm supposed to remove the teat 😅

@Kirsty you can do this, just take the teat off - it’s on mam website 😊

@Jami Thank you ☺️, I will do this going forward!!

I stored in smaller bottles or bags in portion sizes in the fridge as they were easier to store so heated up in those

Hey! I have been warming up in a jug of warm water but just unscrew the teat / top off. You can balance the lid back on top so nothing gets inside the bottle though. Took a few times to realise that’s what we needed to do, I didn’t realise water would get drawn up! 🙈 x

Ok general consensus- put the bottle in hot water without teat and lid! Thanks all 🤍
