No: Microwaves destroys many molecules in everything. Don't do it.

Bad idea: The microwave can zap a lot of heat into a bottle that you only realize after baby has burned her mouth. Feeling the outside of the bottle won't cot it & sticking your finger in it is not hygienic. Some kids will enjoy it cool & those who like it warm deserve the sauce pan/thermometer method.
