How should cows milk be served to a toddler?Should it be preboiled and cooled or..

Question

or can i give it straight from the milk can ?

Can i microwave the cows milk to warm it up before offering?

Answer 1

can? you must be outside the U.S.

Canned milk is often evaporated milk.  If that is the case you need to mix it with water.  For regular fresh milk, as long as it is pasteurized you can serve it cold straight from the fridge, which is the prefered temperature here in the U.S.  In other places people warm it,  it really is a personal choice.  If you chose to warm it in the microwave heat it in a cup first and then pour it into a bottle to avoid burns.

If the milk is not pasteurized, you need to boil it first.

Answer 2

yep no need to warm it up or anything, they like it just fine cold from the fridge. but you know unless he is fussy at night or cant sleep or something like that you can always give him some warm milk by heating it in the microwave if you'd like.  

Answer 3

Just put it in a cup or sippy cup. Toddlers are not babies the can drink cold milk.

Answer 4

from the fridge in a sippy cup  :)

Answer 5

No it does not get boiled first.  You can give the milk right to them out of the fridge cold, or you can heat it up a bit if they prefer it warm.

My daughter wanted it warmed at first, being that she was used to her formula warm.  Now she drinks it cold.  

Answer 6

In a sippy cup or regular cup.  It doesn't have to be warmed.

Answer 7

Hi, as long as it's pasteurised milk you can give it straight from the can. If your toddler doesn't like very cold milk a safer way to warm it is to stand a cup of milk in hot water for a minute or two until it is the right temperature but make sure you transfer the milk to another unheated cup before giving to your toddler for obvious safety reasons. Microwaving is quite dangerous as it doesn't heat evenly and could leave "hot spots" in the milk that could scald a child.

Answer 8

just give it to her cold in a sippy cup

Answer 9

Just put it straight into the sippy cup from the container.  Don't microwave it, you could cause hot spots that can burn your child's mouth.  Give it straight from the fridge  :)
