Is serpentine a igneous rock?

Serpentine is itself a category of Minerals. Minerals are not Rocks in that Minerals are homogenous (one substance) whereas Rocks are heterogenous (many substances). All Rocks contain Minerals in a fixed proportion. Serpentinite is a Metamorphic Rock made of Serpentine-Group Minerals pressed together at the bottom of the sea-floor and heated by magma. In order to be an Igneous Rock, a Rock has to itself be a form of crystallized magma, not merely heated by magma.

How long should be heated baby food in order to be safe for his feeding?

Baby food doesn't take long to heat up because it's such a small amount. In the microwave only about a minute or less (of course each microwave is different). But whether in the microwave or on the stove top, just heat it enough to be warm. You don't want it to be hot. Drop a bit of it on the inside of your wrist to check to see if it's too hot. If you're not sure, go ahead and try to serve it cold. Better safe than sorry.
