I'd suggest weaning him into drinking it cold. My 17 month old hated it when I tried giving her anything cold around 9 - 10 months. For a week, I gave her a bottle that was 3/4 warm. For example, giving an 8 oz. bottle, I used 6 oz. warm water and 2 oz. cold. The next week, I went 1/2 and 1/2. It took a couple of weeks doing this before I could get her down to 1/4 warm, but once I did, the following week, she was taking cold bottles without a problem.
Hope this helps & good luck!

The fat separates from the milk whilst it cools. So, it variety of sounds like it could elect to be warmed if for no different reason. I used an Avent pump and pumped rapidly right into a bottle with a bottle liner, then bumped off and clipped the lining, positioned it into yet another bottle liner (as my lactation representative cautioned using fact it could be much less in all probability to get nicked...they're thinner than breastmilk storage bags), and further the date and time of day. Then I stored it in the refrigerator or freezer. At this element it grew to become into easy to drop decrease back into my bottle for a feeding. additionally the breastmilk variations it particularly is fat content fabric for the time of the day. So, it extremely is superb to place the circumstances on the milk so which you're able to provide the toddler milk from the dazzling time of day. Morning has extra sugar and much less fat to help gas the waking/enjoying hours and evening has extra fat to help the toddler sleep longer at evening.

Mine doesn't either- he's 13 months... I'll give him cold milk, and he will only take a little sip and be done.... so what I still do now, is heat his milk up for about 20 seconds in our microwave- it doesn't make it that warm, but takes the chill off of it. He'll drink it all too that way. Try that to see if it works some.

I give my son his milk warm at bedtime. I think it helps relax him so he can sleep better. He likes it cold the rest of the time. I don't think it hurts to warm it up. As I recall when he was on formula I heated it all the time.

Try just giving him cold drinks during the day, if he knows he get the warm ones at bedtime he will be more likely to have cold without a fight.
Good Luck!

I have a 6 month old and when I started to give him juice I found that he does not like it cold either, so int eh morning I put some juice in his bottle or cup and leave it at room temperature and buy lunch time its just right for him.

Firstly, you can warm his regular cow's milk when the time comes. Secondly cow's milk tastes totally different than formula and if he always has cow's milk cold he may never know the difference.
On a different note I think this whole switch to cow's milk at exactly 12 months is crazy. Breastfed babies go much longer with at least SOME breastmilk. (usually, in most parts of the world). Until your baby is getting almost all their nutrition from food formula is more nutritious and easier to digest than cow's milk. And nobody NEEDS cow's milk anyway, you can get all your calcium from dark leafy veggies much easier than milk. (Don't get me wrong I love milk, I have it on my cereal everyday and drink a fair bit too, but really it isn't needed)

my son is 13 months and i still warm his milk,he likes it more,he is just a baby and it only takes 42 seconds out of my time a few times a day.Babies get warm breastmilk not refrigerated milk so nature intended them to drink at least body tempature milk.Before you know it he will start to handle colder beverages and enjoy them.

start giving it to him at room temperature. slowly make it colder. my son is also ten months old. he didn't like it at first. ...but he got used to it. you should try putting it in a cup also. you should take away the bottle around a year old. if it is in a cup he might not think it has to be warm.

just keep warming it until he wants it cold. you can warm whole milk just don't boil it.
