Cold Milk

Einer

My son is 6 weeks old, at 4 weeks I had to go back to work so he's being bottle fed breast milk during the day while I'm at work.  When I started getting him used to eating from a bottle, I would just take the pumped milk from the fridge, put it in a bottle, and feed him.  My caregiver is doing this also because I told thme this was how he eats it.  However, at Easter my husband's grandmother went off on me after seeing me take the bottle from the fridge and feed my son.  She stated that you have to warm the milk or the baby will have issues digesting it.  My son has been fine for two weeks drinking cold milk but now I want to make sure it is okay to continue doing this or if I really am going to cause some issue for him.  Basically I'm wondering if cold milk is okay...

Some babies have a hard time with cd milk, if your baby is fine with it then I'd think it's fine.

I think that's an old wives' tale.  The LC at our breastfeeding class recommended giving cold milk from a bottle because it makes our lives easier (and makes the eventual transition off of breastmilk easier).  One of the DCP at my son's dayca

I think it's awesome that he'll take cold milk. I wish mine would.

We have always used cold milk. Our Nicu told us it is fine once baby does not have problems regulating their temps my kids were all preemies.
