Most parents face the problem of properly warming up their baby food. It is very important to know the methods of competently bringing it to the desired temperature, since a hungry baby is unlikely to lie silently and wait until his mother figure out how to warm up food for him.
Instructions
Step 1
During the heating of baby food, 2 points are important: efficiency (the warm-up time should be about 5-7 minutes) and safety (warm up the food so that the baby does not get burned).
Step 2
Heating baby food in a microwave oven. This method gives a fairly quick result, but at the same time there is a very high risk of overheating. In addition, food in the microwave does not heat up evenly, that is, it can still be cold on the bottom, while on the surface it is already hot. And besides, not every dish is suitable for a microwave oven, which means that it is possible that baby food will need to be shifted.
Step 3
Heating baby food in a water bath. To do this, you need to lower the bottle of food in a pot of water and put it on gas. As the water heats up, the baby food will also heat up. The main disadvantage of this method is the heating duration.
Step 4
Warm baby food with a bottle warmer. Its principle of operation is the same as that of a water bath. The bottle of food is also immersed in water and heated. However, the heater has a built-in thermostat that does not allow the water to overheat or cool down, as a result of which the baby food heats up to the required temperature in a fairly short time (up to 10 minutes). The downside of this device is that only bottles are placed in it, it is not designed for a wider container. Many parents prefer the latter method of heating baby food. Therefore, it is very important to know how to choose it. Firstly, it is necessary to pay attention that the heater works not only from the mains, but also from the car cigarette lighter. This is important when traveling with your baby frequently by car. Secondly, it is very convenient if the heater has such a function that allows you to set the required temperature for heating baby food. Thirdly, it is better if this device has a special shutdown button so that there is no need to turn off the device from the network after each use.
