my mom freeked out when she found out I was doing this...she says "she has no choice but to eat when shes hungry so she drinks it cold," I've never heard why you shouldnt feed them cold milk. I've heard the only reason why people warm milk is because its supposed to relax them more.

There's nothing wrong with it. It just gives alot of baby's tummy aches. My daughter wouldn't drink it any other way. It bothered me at first, but the doctor said that it was fine.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving your baby cold formula. And, as long as it's been refrigerated since it was mixed, it can last 24 hours in the fridge. It only lasts one hour after you warm it out of the fridge. I mix my daughter's formula with water kept at room temperature, so I don't warm it either. Also, when she is teething badly I give her cold formula from the fridge as it helps cool the gums.

I always gave my daughter cold formula. The doctor said that there is no reason why I shouldn't. People make it warm so it is like breast milk. It is a preference not a requirement.

Want to correct Stacey D, on the can it says that premixed formula can stay in the fridge up to 48hrs. If she likes it, and it's not upsetting her stomach, then I would think its fine.

Should be just fine - and it's easier for you, too! My son wouldn't eat anything unless it was warmed up. This was especially challening when we were out someplace and it was feeding time!! You're lucky!

its fine most medicine tastes better when its cold. you can always chase it down with some warm formula or brestmilk.

How long has it been in the fridge? Formula once mixed is only good for one hour and then has to be thrown away.
I think that giving it to them warm helps relax them and makes it easier to digest.
I would ask you pediatrician

i give my daughters warm at bedtime and nap time that's it cause like you said it relaxes them and if she doesn't like it she won't eat it she will spit it out or gag and scream til she gets what she wants that's what babies do
