How long does it take to warm up a refrigerated 5 ounce bottle of breastmilk?

5 minutes would be molten lava for the one we have! Haha. Agree with just past the 2 minute mark for 5 oz.

Based on my experience, it takes about a minute to warm up 1 ounce...so for 5 ounces of breastmilk, I would put the timer on 5. It varies a little bit with refrigerators and temperatures as I have one upstairs and one downstairs but the one minute per ounce is usually about right. Hope this helps!

If you pump and bring cold breast milk places, this is good to heat bottles of breast milk. If your using bottles it's good basically. You can heat jars of food later too. I love it.

What I do is measure out 7 jars of 2% milk in a pot and whisk in 5 Tbsp. of powdered milk. Quickly heat to 180 degrees (I use a thermometer), then quickly cool to 110 degrees by putting the pot in a sink partially filled with ice water. Take a small amount of the cooled milk and whisk it with a small container of plain yogurt (or a jar from your previous batch). Then whisk in the rest of the milk, pour in the jars, and put in the machine for about 12 hours. Done!

I find it depends a bit on the bottle for some reason, and what temp you are cooking at. But I get at least 45 minutes on fairly high heat. Easily an hour on medium. But YMMV

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to heat the storage bags. I always thawed frozen breast milk overnight in the fridge then put it in a bottle and heated it using the warmer.

I'm not sure, but I believe expressed milk should only be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days, regardless of container. I also believe it is 3 months in a freezer and 6 months in a deep freezer. I would recommend calling a IBCLC ( internationally board certified lactation consultant) to verify safe and evidence-based storage times. :). Good luck, and congratulations! I hope breast feeding is going well.

It's VERY cold the first 4 hours. Then cold the next 4. Only fair cool on the last four hours. It did work great for our baby bottles. I kept it out of the sun. 12 hours is a really long time! It wasn't cold at 12, but it didn't spoil our stuff either. We loved ours!!!

We used this on our 4 month old (with the advice of our pediatrician - you need to talk to your dr). We refrigerate after opening the box but keep extra boxes in our pantry. We only use with cold milk so as not to kill the good stuff.

I have never tried that. What I do is leave a bag/s of frozen milk overnight in the fridge to slowly thaw. I then empty in bottle the next day and then warm it as I need. If I need the frozen bag ASAP, I gently thaw under warm running water. Empty into bottle and warm in the warmer.

Hello there, it usually takes around 8-10hrs at 30-35C here in EU, which is never the case here. So a Rice cooker(In Keep Warm function) or yogurt maker is required to keep the constant warm function for the duration(Mostly Overnight). The consistency tends to be on liquid side but more viscous/pouring in nature. Keeping it for more than 10 hrs in hot area will make it sour and if your temp is too low, it will take on an unpleasant flavor often associated with spoilt milk.

I started with 10ml-15ml and then just tested the milk to make sure it was hot enough. If it starts are room temp it may be too hot. If it started from fridge temp it should be fine.

If you don't warm up the milk enough, the fats will stay solid and thus not get transferred into the baby bottle. These fats are important for brain development, among other things, so I just make sure the bags are warmed up enough so the fats are in solution (even if they are still solid, as long as they can transfer out of the bag), then I transfer into a baby bottle, and heat up the baby bottle to the temperature little girl likes best

That's going to depend on how you're using them. We used them to warm up baby bottles, ~4oz of very cold liquid, in a zippered insulated bag, took maybe 5-10 min to reach a warm, drinkable temp. If we left the warmer in the bag afterwards, it would still be noticeably warm upwards of an hour later (but not hot enough to completely warm up another bottle by then). Anything you can do to keep the heat contained will improve the longevity.

It can warm up food jars apparently, since it gives time guidelines (as in minutes) for food jars on the sheet provided with the product. You'd have to have a lid on the jar. I've not done it yet since my LO is still too young for solid food. When that time comes I'll use it for that and warming food bags (ideally I'll food process solid foods myself when she eats solids). You can also warm up bags of breast milk, not just bottles...

From what I understand, 3 is to warm up cold milk or formula, 1 & 2 are for keeping those things warm if they're put in there fresh. This might help too: http://m.tommeetippee.us/file_store/us/manuals/electric-bottle-warmer.pdf Happy baby feeding and congrats on your new bundle of love :)

about 45 years ago (no exaggeration) I had this little flexible bottle warmer that plugged into a cigarette lighter. Warmed a baby bottle up in about 5 minutes. I don't know if they even make them anymore, but it was fabulous. Try looking for one of them!

The recipe I use calls for heating the milk to 180 degrees for 20 minutes and then cooling it to 100 - 110 before adding the yogurt starter. I understand the heating process accomplishes two purposes: sterilize the milk and break down some of its components to make the yogurt smoother. Good luck.
