at what age can you stop warming up the baby's bottle's.?

Answer 1

Actually, I had asked my pediatrician and he said that I don't ever need to warm the bottle up but many babies prefer it warm.
My neighbor has a baby who has been drinking cold formula since she was a newborn. If you want to switch from warm bottles to cold you may have to do it gradually (my baby refused cold formula at first) Over a couple weeks just keep warming the bottle less and less until you are not warming it at all.

Answer 2

I think it's a personal preference on the child. My 3 children were different. At 8 months, my mom took a bottle out of the fridge, forgot to warm it and gave it to my daughter, she was fine. My middle son, was breast fed til about 9 months, never warmed a bottle--was fine with room temperature. My last son breastfed til about 4 months, he liked his bottles warm til about a year. I tried cold and room temp, he definitely prefered it warm.

Answer 3

Think a baby deserves a warm bottle until they are off the formula.

Answer 4

I kept the bottle warm until about 1yo then the occasional bottle could be luke warm, and I usually gave cold (anything) in a sippy cup.

Most babies don't like cold milk

Answer 5

In fact, your baby shouldn't mind if it is warm or cold, it's all the same to him/her. You could give her cold bottles from the beginning, but it's more pleasant to warm it a little for the baby.

Answer 6

My daughter is almost 3 months old now and I have always warmed her bottles but she started spitting up more recently so now i just warm it enough to knock the chill off and she takes it just fine...The doctors say warming the bottle isn't good for them because it sours on their little tummies..Anyways hope that helped.....

Answer 7

I stopped pretty early. Just see slowly decrease how warm the bottle is, sort of "wean" her of the need for a warm bottle. My kid seemed to not mind.

Answer 8

I warmed my daughter's bottles until weaning from bottle feeding. But I only warmed it to a luke warm temperature. It seemed that when I warmed it too hot it would upset her stomach and she would spit up. Happy New Year!

Answer 9

When my daughter was 3 months old we stopped warming it because she would drink the cooler milk better. Since she preferred it that way, we gave it to her that way. She started using sippy cups at 4 months and she is now 10 months and drinks out of regular cups.Just try to give your baby a bottle of milk that is a little cooler and she if he/she likes it better that way, it's worth a try.

Answer 10

Ugh. I'm disgusted, what are you that lazy?

Serve your baby whatever temperature formula they prefer.

Also you should NOT use nursery water from Walmart it has too much fluoride. You should not use tap water either. You are supposed to use distilled water.

"Powdered or liquid concentrate infant formula can be mixed with water that is fluoride-free or contains low levels of fluoride to reduce the risk of fluorosis. Examples are water labeled purified, demineralized, deionized, distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water. Many stores sell these types of drinking water for less than $1 per gallon. Some, but not all, home water treatment systems also remove fluoride from tap water, so check with the manufacturer. Parents and caregivers should consult with their pediatrician, family physician or dentist on the most appropriate water to use in their area to reconstitute infant formula. Since some children may have special medical needs, ask your pediatrician or physician whether water used in infant formula should first be sterilized. "

"In contrast to recommendations adopted in the 1950s, fluoride supplementation is no longer recommended for newborn children. This includes both fluoride in drops, and fluoride in drinking water.

Not only is fluoride ingestion during infancy unnecessary, it can also be harmful - as suggested by a mounting body of evidence linking fluoride exposure during the first year of life with the development of dental fluorosis. (For pictures of dental fluorosis, click here)

Because of the risk for dental fluorosis, and the lack of demonstrable benefit from ingesting fluoride before teeth erupt, the American Dental Association - and a growing number of dental researchers - recommend that children under 12 months of age should not consume fluoridated water while babies under 6 months of age should not receive any fluoride drops or pills."
