    you are not able to microwave as this extracts the nutrients from the milk.
    Genuinley curious, how does a microwave "extract" nutrients?

    Livinthedream, I think it alters the nutrients somehow because it uses electromagnetic radiation to heat the food. Also if you use plastic bottles it makes it realease some sort of other chemicals into the milk too (I have heard!). But I could be wrong....??

    If you are FF or EBM then i would say well worth it, we had them at work in the UK as we were not allowed to use the microwave. here at work we just use a jug of boiling water (which i dont consider safe with other babies and children around, so if you have older children)
