Don't screw yourself-give it cold if the kidlet's guts will tolerate it. :)

I used the microwave.

I wouldn't bother with bm, she is unlikely to take it straight out of the
fridge, but then it doesn't need to be kept cold until the moment of
consumption. When DH was caring for DS he would take the bottle upstairs
with him at bedtime and leave it by the bed until DS woke up, which once was
8hrs later, the milk was fine, though 2-4hrs out of the fridge seemed
optimal.

Small saucepan filled with water.

For EBM? I thought that killed some of the nutritive value?

Never used a bottle warmer. When we did have to warm a bottle of EBM
(which wasn't very often), we just ran the bottle under hot tapwater.

Don't you have to worry about dropping a newborn's body temp with cold milk?

Not that I ever heard of, and once her reflux settled down, she prefered
cold-but it might have been the triple digits she was born in. :)

I've also heard that someone else used a crockpot on low, and just kept a
bottle in there.

If you can get a baby to take it cold, it sure saves some hassles.

We actually really liked our bottle warmer. I think it was a first
years? I suspect they are all very similar. Ours heated the bottle
really fast.

DD's daycare kept a crock pot of warm water and would just pop
the bottles in there to heat.

It may. There were times though, there was no choice, like when she was in
the hospital for three months. They didn't have anything else but a
microwave. Since you have a choice, then use a pot of water on the stove and
save your money.

What we do is to microwave a small amount of water in a coffee mug and then
twirl the bottle of ebm in that until it's warm enough - you can use pretty
hot water, too, and don't need a lot of it, so the water heats quickly and
so does the ebm. With ds we tried a hand-me-down bottle warmer (don't
remember the brand) but didn't like it - too messy and it didn't always work
well.

I understand you had no choice, but I'm surprised the hospital staff
tolerated it, not due to the nutritional value, but as it seems in the UK
everyone is dead set against warming anything for babies in a microwave,
something to do with getting hot spots and then burning the child. I don't
think I've ever done milk in the microwave, but I do do baby food, I just
stir it very thoroughly!

I don't think there is much of a choice.
