OP is the person trashing the mom who doesn't want to breastfeed in the hospital on the other thread.

Obviously, do NOT overheat.

Wondering if there may be a correlation between your baby's sleep difficulties and the fairly recent practice giving babies bottles that haven't been warmed. Am also thinking that warming the bottle may reduce the risk of colic.




No observable effect. 2 DCs. Both breastfed and slept in the same room from 0 to age 2 at approx same room temps. DC1 - terrible sleeper, DC - great sleeper.

Your experience, OP?

My DD drank cold formula straight from a pitcher in the fridge from 6 weeks on and was the best sleeper of any of my friends/family.
This theory is ridiculous

For the poster who asked:

Dr. Marshall Klaus was a neonatologist who wrote the book, "Maternal - Infant Bonding".

"Contact between a mother and child in the first hours or even days of a baby's life heightens the mother's attachment to her child indefinitely. Those bonds develop in a "dance" that includes eye contact, facial expressions and the rhythmic sound of speech. Such intimacy increases the likelihood of breast feeding, enhances the child's development and even reduces the potential for child abuse and neglect."

"These findings prompted many hospitals to allow and even encourage parents to have more contact with normal and premature babies immediately after they are born, rather than isolating infants in nurseries and incubators, and to focus more on the mother's care and comfort."

Thanks. I wish I was an infant massage expert, or even just trained. Lol. But I can share one thing with you, if you do it right, most babies love getting massaged, as do most adults.


My point was a massage expert is a trash source

Good to know how you're feeling today.
Do you know of Dr. Marshall Klaus?


The guy who thought because goats sometimes reject their babies, in-rooming newborns will reduce child abuse?

What does that have to do with bottle warmers?

Why no citation for the quotation?

Are you claiming that there has been a recent increase in the incidence of sleep difficulties, one that correlates with changes in using room temperature bottles? Care to cite for that?

1. The quote is from the book, "Infant Massage - A Handbook for Loving Parents" by Vimala McClure, Founder of the International Association of Infant Massage. The cover has this quote by Marshall Klaus, MD. "Infant Massage is an essential skill for parents. This book is a superb guide to getting it right." Every pediatrician knows of Marshall Klaus, MD.
2. I made no claim whatsoever. I am asking important questions for parents who prefer not to stay awake all night with their crying babies.

No need for any hostility here. If you're interested in this, please share your experiences and thoughts. Thank you.
