DS will take 1-2 oz but usually not much more, he ends up playing with the bottle. When normally he'll drink 4-5+ oz from a bottle of warmed or room temp BM.

She drinks cold formula in a pinch (on an airplane, road trips, etc) but it kind of makes me feel ikky so I usually warm it for her. She'll take room temp formula no problem and often does though

They will, but they don't like it. If I give them a bottle and they want more, I usually have to give them some right from the fridge. I could wait but usually one or both are screaming their heads off. They do make faces like they are having a brain freeze of sorts. I do warm their bottles to room temperature most of the time.

I never gave cold BM because I always had that fat cap on top and it didn't mix in well even when I swirled it. We kept all bottles, whether BM or formula warm until closer to 10 months, when I started making them increasingly tepid in preparation for the transition to cold whole cow's milk. Particularly before DS was on a good amount of solids, a bottle of cold milk on an empty stomach seemed like it would be uncomfortable - I don't even like cold milk on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, yanno?

No, she gags on the BM fat when it is straight out of the fridge and pukes. Room temp works.

My 6 month old drinks cold breastmilk, no problem. We take it out of the fridge and warm it in your hand or under warm water just until the fat mixes back in, so not just out of the fridge cold, but not really room temp either. My husband was in charge of all bottles and he said that's easier!

Since I EP'ed with LO1, I made sure to give him room temperature and cold. He didn't seem to mind. Made my life easier not having to warm it up.

Nope. She likes it so hot it almost seems too hot. (Her baths, too. Ha!)

DS will drink it cold but it freaks me out so I always try to get it to room temperature.

Yep. Never warmed it once so he doesnt know the difference. It is either straight from the fridge or room temp if we just made the bottle!

Yes, she has always taken bottles cold and she is exclusively formula fed. We did the same thing with big sister and I think it made the switch to cow's milk easier.

Yes. I never warmed up her bottles. Now she drinks cold milk, straight from the fridge.
