Formula is absolutely fabulous for us moms who can not or do not have the ability to nurse. Whatever brand you chose to use, Enfamil, Similac, Carnation Good Start, Parent’s Choice, make sure to follow certain protocols.
How to properly warm formula: the best way to heat a bottle of formula is to heat a bowl of water in the microwave and then place the previously prepared bottle in the bowl of hot water for a few minutes to warm. If you are short on time, warm water from the faucet but make sure to check the water on your wrist to ensure it is not too warm.
NEVER heat a bottle in the microwave. It will create hot spots inside the bottle and can ruin the bottle itself.
