As a new father of twin girls (now 3 mo. old), I heard a different, and
more believable reason not to microwave milk or formula (and this reason
would probably appeal to an engineer). Microwave ovens often warm things up
unevenly, and thus might leave "hot spots" in the milk that could could
burn, even if the outside of the container feels the right temperature
