    Q. Is it OK to heat my baby's bottle in the microwave?

    A. NO, this is very dangerous and there have been numerous severe mouth burns in infants because of this. Please heat the baby's bottle in warm water, shake well to establish even temperature in the bottle and check a few drops on your wrist.
