Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Do you know what temp it heats it to? Kathy From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lana Gibbons Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2008 1:36 PM Subject: Warming Raw Milk So I have a regular, affordable source of certified raw milk now, yay! I like my milk warm. Always have, always will. When I drank pasteurized milk I had no worries heating it on the stove... but I highly doubt that imprecise practice will be good for raw milk. So I've been drinking it cold... I actually don't find it too bad when cold, but anyway... I was wondering... I have a bottle warmer (mini steamer style) for my LO. It is advertised as not overheating so it preserves breastmilk's nutrition, which is why I got it. I was wondering... can I heat raw cows milk in it without overcooking it? (And for that matter, is it really keeping the qualities of raw breastmilk when I heat LO's bottles in it?) Thanks!! -Lana " There is nothing more useful than sun and salt.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 If you could give the bottle to your baby right away without the risk of it being too hot I would say it is safe. It would have to heat pretty evenly to be safe for babies. I drink a lot of raw milk, and I like it hot a lot of the time (especially at this time of year!) so I just warm it up on the stove in a heavy enameled pot stirring constantly...and never let it get too hot to burn my mouth. Always judge by your finger or your mouth...if its ever too hot for either of those you are probably destroying some enzymes at the least. - > > Do you know what temp it heats it to? > > > > Kathy > > > > From: > [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lana Gibbons > Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2008 1:36 PM > > Subject: Warming Raw Milk > > > > So I have a regular, affordable source of certified raw milk now, yay! > > I like my milk warm.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 must be hiccuping, I didn't get Kathy's post... just s. I don't know how hot it warms it... I do know there is a limit to how hot steam gets, but I'm totally not remembering that now. But when I put in the right amount of water for the bottle size I can feed it to her right away. I used to be pretty attentive when warming milk on the stove, but those days are long gone. LOL! I'd end up wandering out to check on my cute LO and forget I was warming it in the first place... Especially with how giggly she's been recently. It is just so great hearing her laugh! I could sit and watch her for ages... -Lana " There is nothing more useful than sun and salt.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 OK, I'm drawing from memory here, and not taking time to research this, but I think if its under 115 degrees, the good stuff is OK.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I heat my raw goat milk by putting however much I will drink in a glass, and then putting the glass in a larger plastic container of hot water from the tap. The hot tap water heats the glass that the milk is in, and the glass heats the milk very evenly. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I always recommend the bottle warmer as the perfect place to make breastmilk yogurts! I will be needling my milk lady for never chilled milk when I think I can get her to do it. The clabber is reputedly superior.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 " Recipe " please! How long do you heat the milk for? My warmer says specifically to give it 3 minutes between runs and not to use any extra water than the top line (which is about 5 minutes). I'd love to try this out! -Lana " There is nothing more useful than sun and salt.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Just wait until she's crawling around everywhere! is walking now too. And man he can get across a room and find some trouble in less than 20 seconds! We are finding just how little stuff we need out to get by and that a spartan life is best! =) I can't keep track of anything right now and even 15 minutes getting dishes into the dishwasher is enough time for him to get in crazy trouble! =) Playpens are just for screaming! =) We used a bottle warmer from Target for his bottles. I lost my breast milk so we used the NT formula. I would mix it up then pour in 6 bottles that were ready to pop in the warmer and go! It doesn't over heat the milk and in 10 minutes it's perfect warmness. If I had to heat up on the stove I'd definitely burn or break something. =) At my mom's or when traveling I've used hot tap water in a glass then put the bottle inside that and let it sit a bit.
