For the moms who didn’t breastfeed in the hospital

[Anonymous]

Bring your own formula - a box of the little 2 oz nursettes with disposable nipples. You can feed it at room temp, no need at all to warm.

I had the same issues and the lactation nurses were just awful to me. Your baby will be perfectly fine without a drop of breastmilk. Just don't let them get to you!

The breastfeeding fad has gone way too far. It may be marginally better but not to the extent that it's pushed. Breatfeeding was disfavored for decades and those who could afford it, exclusively formula fed. We turned out okay and formula was not nearly as good then as it is now. Don't sweat it.

The formula still needs to be properly warmed in the hospital.

You can give ready to feed at room temperature. No need to warm it.

That seems hard on a little tummy/system designed to receive warm milk. What about bringing a bottle warmer with you?

Please stop. Room temp RTF is fine. And it probably kept my DD from being readmitted to the hospital for dehydration. A LC recommended it, actually.

So just stop. I'm pretty sure room temp RTF is what they give in the hospital anyway.

That's an example of the naturalistic fallacy. it is a fact that breast milk comes out warm. It is not a fact that babies are meant to receive warm milk (meant by whom?). It is also not a fact that room-temperature formula (or room-temperature breast milk) is harmful.

If human babies were not meant to drink warm milk (nature, God, evolution, take your pick), it wouldn’t be warm.

Room-temperature formula is not harmful, but it is also not optimal. Just like a newborn CAN sleep unswaddled in a noisy, light environment...but that sure isn’t optimal.

Milk is warm because a mom's body is warm. There is no evidence that room temp formula hurts babies. Stop it...you're being a complete @$$!

I never said hurt, nor harm. I used the words preferred and optimal.

You CAN have sex with a dry vagina. Is that optimal?

At my hospital when my newborn got formula the hospital just gave room temperature RTF. But since you are so concerned about the baby getting warm formula there are portable bottle warmers that mom can bring. Happy? Just go away now.

There is something wrong with you. Warm formula is in no way better than room temp. Weirdo.

I already suggested a bottle warmer, sweetie. I’ll stay as long as I like.

Babies crave warmth, just like in the womb.

Omg. Stop it.

I never said it was harmful; you put those words in my mouth. Ask your ped what is preferred.

Room temp is fine. There is nothing magical about warming it. Some babies have a preference after they get it one way or another. Start as you wish to continue and give room temp. So much easier!

Some of us think the baby’s preference is more important than our own ease.

Whatever works for you!

I know this is a very important issue to you for some unknown really weird reason, but it may shock you to learn that some babies prefer it cold or room temp. Cue your internal freak out!

Really? Is that why just about every feeding guide suggests warming the bottles, especially for babies who have a bottle aversion?

Here is what the Mayo Clinic says: It's fine to give your baby room temperature or even cold formula. We’ll believe them over some nut on the Internet. Stop hijacking this thread.

No one ever said it wasn’t “fine.” Some of us want better than fine for our babies.
