I'll be warming purees from the fridge. How should I warm them without damaging nutrients and without burning my baby's mouth?

The safest way to warm puree from the fridge is bain-marie (putting the puree container in a bowl of hot water) or warming gently on low heat on the stove with constant stirring. If using a microwave, always use a glass/bowl, heat in short intervals (10-15 seconds), and stir thoroughly each time — microwaves create hot spots that can burn your baby's mouth.
After heating, always check temperature by dripping a drop on your inner wrist or testing a small amount on your lips. It should be lukewarm (close to body temperature), not hot.
To preserve nutrients, warm only the amount you'll use right away; repeatedly heating and cooling causes both vitamin loss and bacterial growth.
