Works a treat.......with our microwave it is 1min 20sec for a bottle out the fridge (9oz) and 40secs if it has been left on the side to cool and not made it to the fridge! Both ours are well on it  When we go out, we overheat the bottle/s and put them in the insulator in the bag and we know we have a good 3-8hrs without having to worry about bottles for him. It is all trial and error babe, you will learn your own times & tricks etc.....x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | what actually happens if you warm them in the microwave? never tried it, but it sounds like a fantastic idea when all 3 littlist ones want a bottle before bed at the same time as the two older ones have hot milk  does it just go thermonuclear, or lumped? i dont know lol. SOrry, never tried it. Plus, you cant EVER heat breast milk in a microwave can you? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Make your bottle up with the milk in it then put in the microwave, nothing happens to it, it stays as a liquid and heats up. Why the 'proffessionals' do NOT recommend it, is because a microwave cooks from the middle outwards, so the middle is always hotter......but if you give it a really good shake, and I don't mean a little whimpy one, we shake for a good 10-20 seconds to mix it up, then it is fine. As for Breast milk, I can't see why you can't heat it out of a fridge, but I have never done this so could not say for certain! x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | it would just make things so much easier than having 3 bottles stood in pots for ages lol we have one of those zingy microwaves, literally takes half the time if not more of anything, its a 1050 one and i love it those meal things that josh gets when he comes home late that say 9 mins are always done in 3/4 lol, so bottles wouldnt take hardly anything i doubt. Ive just always had it drummed into me you shouldnt heat them in a microwave and shouldnt EVER do B Milk :S dont know why though lol | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Give it a go hun, it is all trial and error, but maybe wait to see if someone has tried the heating of breast milk in there?.....As I said, just make sure it is shook very well and then test it on the underside of your wrist if it stings at all, it is too hot! Good Luck! x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | yeah, do that anyways lol, josh tends to just squirt the teet into his mouth, im like, that is so gross! he ends up tasting it, eww, even i wouldnt try my own breastmilk lol.
The Little ones are on Breast still, Benji's on SMA still, wont come off it and HATES real milk, apparently its not a problem yet though lol | | | | Status: Offline

They say not to coz of heat spots but as long as you shake the bottle after for 10 seconds plus then its fine
