Is it ok for us to give our LO cold formula? Up until this point he's been getting room temp formula but I'd like to make a pitcher and keep it in the fridge. Should we warm it up or can we give it to him cold if he'll take it?
-
I think warming it up is only so they will take it. If he will drink it cold that's fine! We have given LO bottles that are a bit cold & she doesn't seem to notice.
-
If your LO will drink it cold, go for it.

DS always hated warmed up formula. He drank it cold starting when he was just a few weeks old!
-
DS would take formula cold, you can try it, if not just run the bottle under the warm/hot tap water for a little bit.
-
N drinks his formula warm or cold. I prefer to warm it but I don't think he cares.
-
I give LO a bottle of cold formula when she's sweaty or just had a long winded cry (and it's feeding time, of course). Otherwise, it's room temp or warm.
-
LO prefers it room temp but in a pinch she'll drink cold just fine! Just use within 24hrs of making and you'll be fine.
-
My LO will eat formula at any temp, cold, warm or room temp.

The NICU PTs actually recommended that we start with cold milk because it triggers the swallow reflex better!
-
if they'll take it cold no worries! my LO won't, but only because it makes his little hands cold holding the refrigerated bottle!
