Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 That is not hot enough to ruin it. Heat treating to kill bad bacteria and keep the good is at about 120 for 30 minutes. Pasteurizing is up to 160-180 for 45-60 minutes. At 94 you are safe and not hurting any of the good qualities of raw milk. A cow's natural, healthy temp is about 102 I believe. So, when you get milk from the cow, it's over 94 already and fine. Just don't ever heat it in the microwave, always in water. Something with nuking it (says it all) that destroys some of the qualities even if you don't heat it too much. At least, that's what I've been told. K.C. killing my milk? At what point in heating milk do I start to loose the benefit of raw milk. My baby is on the homemade formula and i warm his bottle. I try to take it easy but sometimes I make it too hot and have to run it under water. Today I tested a bottle I warmed for him and it was about 94 degrees. Is he still getting the benefit of raw? I am unable to breast feed due to a breast reduction in case you are wondering.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Sandy, I am sorry that you are not able to breastfeed. I hope that you still use feeding time as a way to bond with your baby... as for warming, have you tried just setting it in a bowl of hot water? That is how we warm up our milk for " hot chocolate " . I'm not sure what temperature " kills " the milk. But, if you are wanting towarm the bottle up to " mommy temperature " , than a bowl of hot water should do that just as quickly as the stove, without the possibility of overheating. I hope that helps a little. How old is the baby?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Yes, i do use that time to bond with my baby. He is 3 1/2 months old and doing wonderfully on the raw milk formula. I formula fed my daughter since i didnt know about sally back then. I always held her close as if i was breastfeeding and rocked her. Never proped the bottle or let her hold it herself. I always felt that was important. I do the same with my son. I did try to breastfeed with him though since i found the breast feeding after reduction yahoogroup but it didnt work. thanks, sandy Re: killing my milk?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Thanks!!! I do warm it on the stove and not the microwave. For upstairs I have a steamer bottle warmer that if i put too much water in the water nearly boils. lol I have done that a time or two. sandy killing my milk?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Sandy, Just an add on thought, but skin on skin contact also helps that bond develop. I am no where near as close with my oldest, who I bottle fed and held all the time. My two younger ones I have used a lot of skin on skin contact with, and I think it has made a huge difference in more ways than just our bond. > > Yes, i do use that time to bond with my baby.
