Do babies not take cold milk?

Question

Planning on breastfeeding and pumping, so does the pumped/saved milk have to be warmed? 
If so, can you warm it on the stove or do you have to get one of those "milk warming" machines?

Answer

Babies can have cold milk some just won't take it. I just warm it slightly under warm water until the fat layer blends in all the way. I'm lucky though to my son food is food he doesn't care about temp or source.

Answer

Never microwave or heat breastmilk in a pan. It's completely safe and ok to give baby cold milk it does not hurt their tummies that's ridiculous. It's also a great way to differentiate between breast and bottle so baby doesn't get nipple confusion.

Answer

Run it under hot water or put a pan with boiling water to heat it.

Answer

Never microwave milk! It can be dangerous. You can buy a bottle warmer or you can put hot water in a cup/pan/bowl and place the water in it for a few minutes. It doesn't have to be boiling hot. I run the hot water from my tap into a cup and place the bottle in there for about 3 - 5 minutes and by then the milk is about room temperature.

Answer

The only reason to avoid giving cold milk is if you plan to switch between breast and bottle. It can be confusing for the baby. If you want to do both, it would be best to warm the pumped milk using a bottle warmer or, like we did with our first, heat up water in a cup/bowl, and place the bottle in the water to warm up. Never microwave the milk. Hope this helps!

Answer

We started with cold milk!! At first he was s but confused but took it abyways because he was hungry. Now is is perfectly fine with cold milk, which will be GREAT for traveling, longer car trips, eating on the go, etc!

Answer

Cold milk can hurt the baby's tummy.

I warm water in a glass in the microwave fire about 45  seconds then put the bottle in the glass until it heats up.

Answer

I advise a warmer. We warned up my daughters with a cup and hot water and I could kick myself over and over for it. We bought a bottle warmer this time around and it is so much easier! We just bought a $12 one at Walmart. It steams the bottle in 90 seconds and done! So much easier and a much happier baby!

Answer

If its too cold your baby can get colic.

Answer

My baby (3 mos old) takes breastmilk bottles straight from the fridge no problem :), though we usually run the bottle under hot tap water at home.  He only gets bottles about once a week, though, so if you're asking about regularly feeding cold milk then I can't speak to that.
