Cheryl,
dericulous!  gloves and 140 degrees for breastmilk!  Human milk should be
heated as gently as possibly, to avoid denaturing the protein antibodies and
other immune components.  Overheating human milk could theoretically add to
the risk of HIV transmission, because the antiinfective properties that would
ordinarily mitigate against transmission would be disabled.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.
 All recommendations I have ever read called for room temp running water to
heat human milk.
