Warming Stored Milk

Anyone have any tips of warming milk from the refridgerated and frozen state?  I am going back to work in a week and only have thought of warming hot water and letting the bottle sit in the hot water but I am not sure how thrilled daycare will be about this.

    Are you storing the milk in bottles or bags? We stored it in bags and just ran the bag under warm water for a few minutes and it was thawed/warmed perfectly and it didn't take long.

    I have a lot frozen in Lansinoh bags but also will be pumping and storing it in bottles in the refridgerator.

    i put the bottles in a cup of hot water. you only need to warm it up enough to make the fat run down the sides -- my baby will drink "cool" milk. it takes less than a minute.

    also, remember to tell daycare to "swish and swirl" to mix and NOT shake. shaking is bad for breast milk and ill break the amino chains.

    Bottle warmers work great!  We used them all the time.  When DS was at daycare, they had small crock-pots of water that they would keep on all day and put the bottles in to warm.
