My LO couldn't have milk so I researched the recommended daily amount of fat for brain development because I was really worried about it! It's not hard to manage with other foods, and it's really just the first 24 months. A spoonful of coconut oil in his oatmeal or a smoothie every day met most of the need. We made up the rest elsewhere. If warming up the milk is inconvenient for you and you want to stop I think you can give yourself permission to do so with no guilt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2365410 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 22:00:14 +0000 Oxana 2365410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: You think so? I'm not sure how much of a big deal it is. It seems like I read a while ago about how the fat in milk is really important for their brain development...but like you pointed out, it's only a week, so it won't really matter. I guess a part of me wonders if I should not go cold turkey during the cruise because she'll have so many other adjustments to make. Hm. I'll definitely have to consider that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2365403 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 21:48:07 +0000 MrsSRS 2365403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the cruise would he a good time to go cold turkey. Worst case scenario is she doesn't drink any milk. No biggie since she can drink water and eat regular food, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2365351 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:59:41 +0000 Mamasig 2365351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oxana: A friend gave me that when I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2365339 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:43:44 +0000 Oxana 2365339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Nope, she's had a straw cup since we introduced WCM at 12 months. If we get a warmer, we'll just have to bring an extra bottle to warm it in and pour it into the straw cup.</p> <p>@Alivoo01: Hm. I might have to try that. She spits out the milk if it isn't warm enough, though. :meh: </p> <p>@Mamasig: Ha, I guess we only have ourselves to blame. We created a monster! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2364904 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 13:02:42 +0000 Mamasig 2364904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never warmed their milk. They drank it cold from birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2364897 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:59:46 +0000 Alivoo01 2364897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold turkey. When we started giving him WCM, i warmed it up because he refused to drink it. Then I asked daycare, and they said they give it to him cold and drinks it just fine. Not as much as he would if it was warm, but does. Well then!</p> <p>So we just started giving it to him cold and he eventually got used to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2364896 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:59:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2364896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oxana: is it in a bottle still? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/switching-from-warm-to-cold-milk#post-2364869 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:42:14 +0000 Oxana 2364869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 22 months, and I've been trying to get her to drink cold milk by gradually decreasing the warmth of her milk. But if I heat it less than 38 seconds, she'll barely drink it. She just loves it warm. She will eat cold cereal, though. </p> <p>E have a cruise coming up next month, and I don't think we will have access to a microwave. I guess I'll have to buy an electric bottle warmer. Meh. For those of you who switched to cold milk, what's your secret? </p>
