I did not reheat milk. Once I had it out and had been feeding from it, I threw out any excess. One reason is there can be a little backwash which could let bacteria transfer to the milk and grow. I always warmed a tiny measuring cup of milk and then transferred as much as I thought I would need for each puppy into the syringe (and later the bottle) at one time. Any left in the measuring cup could go back in the pitcher I had in the fridge. But if there was some left in the bottle or syringe, it went down the sink. Any left out over an hour got thrown out too.
You are doing right with warming it in warm water. That is the safe way -- stay away form warming in the microwave.
