For the moms who didn’t breastfeed in the hospital

No. One poster is just frantically trying to justify her decision to use room temperature formula.

Formula should be warmed to body temperature. Not only does it make logical sense (make it as warm as breastmilk from a breast) but for the same reason you give warm water to someone who is dehydrated - it processes faster. We all know the feeling of being hot and drinking cold water and how you can feel it slosh around in your stomach. That’s because the body has to warm it before it can process it.

ffs. there is NO evidence that you have to heat formula to 98 degrees. Go away.

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?

Nonsense. They give room temperature formula to teeny tiny babies in the NICU. No baby’s system is designed to receive warm milk.

OP - I wouldn’t start warming it. Do room temp. It will be much easier in the long term.

Actually newborns are designed to receive body temperature milk. Whether it matters or not is a different question but without a doubt newborns are designed to receive milk at the body temperature.

I understand that you are embarrassed but picking out words and pretending to not understand is sadly pathetic. You are wrong. You know it. And you are embarrassed. Luckily this is an anonymous forum and no one who knows you will know.

Let it go. Go back and check your newborn physiology book. And slink away.

are newborns designed? I must have missed that lesson in my pediatric training.

Room temperature is cold, you know. It's supposed to be 98.6 - just like Mama's breast milk. Don't mess with Mother Nature.

luckily, human babies are warm blooded and can maintain their core temperature through homeostasis, so they can drink cold liquids. Maybe you birthed a lizard baby?

Actually newborns struggle to maintain adequate body temperature, hence the swaddle or skin-to-skin warmth (and bonding).

Plus, why do you think *every* hospital baby wears the little cotton hat? It's to help the baby get warm.

Moreover, my pediatric training was adamant about the vital importance of the 98.6 F formula temperature. Good pediatric nurses aren't interested in being lazy. They'd much rather properly warm the bottle. "Make it lukewarm to the inside of your wrist." You let a couple of drops onto your wrist to test.
We were taught that cold (room temperature) milk would needlessly make the newborn cold, until your tiny baby was able to work hard enough to bring back up her normal body temperature. Isn't that common sense? Why not just allow your baby to have warmed formula? You need to promote your child's health, no?

People who think cold bottles are good for babies are probably the same ones who are too lazy to put on a hat or coat for their child when it's snowing. Shame on them.

No, I am not going to go away, Child. It is better for the baby to have warm formula. End of discussion. Yes, you made it harder for your newborn to digest formula - you messed up - get over it. We all make mistakes with our babies and children! But for God’s sake stop defending your mistake by sad attacks!


OP, they will warm the premade formula for you.

lol. well, at least it's good to know that some people are as batsh*t about formula as others are about breastfeeding.

I’m pretty sure the warm formula poster is actually a breastfeeding nazi. It would be really difficult to get formula to precisely 98.6*, which apparentynis the ideal temperature for newborns to consume.

What happens if I run cold (around 97*), but I breastfeed. Should I put a heating pad on my boobs to warm the formula?

Yes. Because babies are DESIGNED to consume formula at 98.6. Not 95. Not 99. And certainly not 72! Ahhhhh.

Would you recommend a heating pad or one of those sticky warming pads for back pain?

Your body does not have to warm it before it can “process” it. The education is this country is so terrible.

Just stop, PP. You have sufficiently embarrassed yourself. Please stop posting now.

I formula fed my son and never once warmed the bottle. He never complained, rarely spit up, and slept like an angel. Didn't seem to bother him
