Hi Girls,

DD is a week old today, ive been giving her all her bottles at room temp, the house is warmer at differenet times of the day ie when I have the heating on etc. so I presume the temp in the room changes also, so some bottles could be cooler than others depending on the room temp at that time. She has no problem taking them but just wondering would it be worth getting a thermal bag and putting all the bottles into it when there cool to room temp so they'll be the same temp all the time. Think im complicating things now, hope you understand what I mean. Its just my mam and MIL were over the other day and mentioned it to me so I got fairly defensive because they thought bottles should be warm for her.... heated bottles on DS and anywhere you went you always had to make sure there was a facility there to heat bottles.

Sorry ranting now, any advice greatly appreciated!!!

If she's taking the bottles even if they're a bit cooler then I'd just leave it with what you're doing.

I was giving room temperature but when it went really cold I felt the bottles were just to cold at certain feeds of the day and especially the first feed of morning so now I heat them up a little bit by putting into a cup of hot water.

Edited to add not all bottles I heat up,mostly the morning bottle and maybe another bottle during the day

Off topic but what is it about mothers and heating up bottles???

Thanks for the advice girls.

Go with the room temperature bottles - if your LO is taking them for you then don't try to fix something that isn't broken.

I migrated to room temp bottles as soon as I could with DS and never heated baby jars for him.

He still eats tins of beans and spaghetti cold and he is 8 now.

my DS is the same - had room temp bottles/jars and now eats beans/spaghetti/soup etc only if it's cold. and likes cold baths.


OP - if it's not broke, don't fix it.
