VERY IMPORTANT WHEN WARMING UP MILK
At temperatures above 35°C important nutrients in the (breast) milk will be lost.
That’s why it’s important to not warm up the (breast) milk to higher than approxi-
mately 30/35°C.
When not in a hurry, set the settings knob to a position between setting 1 or 2. The
bottle warmer will then switch on the element for only brief moments and, depen
-
ding on the amount of milk, it’ll take 15 to 30 minutes before the milk reaches a
temperature of 30 to 35°C. When using setting 1, you may also leave the bottle in
the water for a longer time (keep warm setting). At this setting, the chance that the
milk exceeds a temperature of 35°C is very small.
If you want to feed your baby earlier, set the knob to a position between setting 2
or 3, regularly shake the bottle or stir the milk and keep testing the temperature
by dripping some milk on the back of your hand. Remove the bottle from the
bottle warmer immediately and disconnect the plug from the wall socket when the
desired temperature is reached. Never leave the bottle in the warm water of the
bottle warmer longer than is necessary.
Extra warning at setting 3: at this setting the water in the bottle warmer
may start to boil for brief periods of time. In this case, pay attention to
hot water splashes and be careful when removing the bottle from the
bottle warmer.
Examples of warm-up times for 150ml milk from the fridge (10°C) to a drinking
temperature of 30 or 35°C:
Setting 1: 30°C: 15 minutes 35°C: 25-30 minutes
Setting 2: 30°C: 8 minutes
35°C: 12 minutes
Setting 3: 30°C: 6 minutes
35°C: 8 minutes
Attention, these times are approximates and depend on the material of the bottle,
the exact starting temperature of the milk, the amount of milk and the amount of
water. Use these times only as a guideline.
