Question

When heating up food from a baby jar in a microwave, do I need to heat it until it's boiling or just warm enough for her to eat.

Answer

Baby food in jars only needs to be heated until it's warm enough for your little one to eat.

 

It's important to heat a jar carefully if using the microwave, then stir well and test the temperature before giving it to your little one, as microwaves can cause hot spots that could burn your baby. Start with only a few seconds and build up until the food is warm enough.

 

You only need to heat food to piping hot if it is part of a previously opened jar you are reheating after storing in the fridge or if it's food you've made at home from scratch and you need to cook it through.
