If a microwave is being used,it is important to stop halfway through the warming time and invert the bottle to thoroughly mix the formula.Health Canada does not recommend microwaving infant formula or food,but rather encourages the use of conventional warming methods.Bottles can be heated in a microwave oven if safety guidelines are followed.No more than 118 mL (4 oz)should be heated at any one time.The bottle should be inverted 10 times; vigorous shaking is not necessary.
