Q: Can I heat up breast milk with these bottles in the microwave?
A: Hello Caro--- We do not recommend heating breastmilk in the microwave. Microwaving can cause severe burns to baby's mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving. Microwaving can also change the composition of breastmilk. You can hold the bottle under warm running water or you can place the sealed bottle in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring it to body temperature. If you have questions please reach out to our team at 800-435-8316. -Your Medela Customer Solutions Team

Q: Are these bottles steam safe (for using in bottle warmers)?
A: We have only tested our bottles with Medela’s hospital grade bottle warmer. Medela recommends that you thaw milk overnight in the refrigerator, or hold the bottle under warm running water to quickly thaw. You can also place the sealed container in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring it to body temperature.
