Do you warm your bottles?

TMILLER45 · July 2011

Do you warm your bottles before giving them to LO?? My DH insists that we heat up the bottles but DD isn't fussy and will drink it cold. Is that bad? I was heating them but she gets so hysterical waiting for it!

I don't warm them. Elly will drink them cold, chilled, room temp or freshly pumped...I guess she's not a picky eater.

If lo will take it cold there is no reason to spend the time warming it.

Nope. charlotte will take it anyway i give it to her so i do not see the need to make her wait while i warm it

We do room temp, unless it's been in the fridge, then we warm it for just a few seconds to get the chill off.

I do. So does DH. She'll eat it at room temp but I've never given her cold milk so I don't know if she would take it.

Nope. C takes them straight out of the refrigerator. She has never minded, so why keep her waiting?

DH typically just grabs a bottle of BM from the fridge and feeds it to her without heating it. She doesn't seem to mind.

Ugggg.....DD will only take them warm, boarding on hot!

It's so bad that we sometimes have to heat it up during the middle of a feeding if it's cooled down too much. It's not something we want to do, we try to heat it up for less time, or giving it at room temp, but she spits it out and cries until it's warm.

I really think this was started in NICU, they heated up everything so she didn't have to use calories to warm it herself.

We use bottled water that we keep out on the counter. When we were BF we had to warm it out of the fridge or she wouldn't take it.

I wish I didn't have to. DD will only take bottles if they are slightly warmer than freshly pumped.

i do. i tried giving her a bottle of bm cold, but she wouldn't take it. eventually she will, i think, but right now, she won't.

My DD will happily take anything. Formula is made at room temp though (with bottled water) and then BM is heated just because I feel bad giving her it cold.

Mine eat room temp. I should try cold and see how they react.

We give DS room temp bottles. It will unhappily take a cold bottle if he is really hungry, if he can make himself wait, then he pushes it away till it gets to room temp. He will completely refuse warm bottles, it actually really funny to see his face.

We do to at least room temperature, usually more like body temperature. I mix a day's worth at once and keep it in the fridge and she won't really take it cold. There's no medical reason to warm it, just a personal preference, so if your LO will take it cold, save yourself the time and effort!

M drinks it anyway you give it!

kristennd · July 2011

We stopped warming them once we discovered he doesn't care.

LO will drink them cold. My mom thinks that if she gets an upset tummy, it is because of the cold bottle. I think it is just a little gas(it doesn't happen all the time.)

room temperature

soooooo easy and DD doesn't mind it at all (it's all she's ever known)
