Room temp bottles?

I found bubs would drift off to sleep a lot easier if the milk was warm, so I've always warmed their formula

Yep me too. My DD wont drink it unless its warm.

Although I will give a little tip, we filled our bottles up in the morning and chucked them in the fridge - but only put the amount of cooled water that you needed to cool it to a perfect temp when boiling water was added - ITMS? So, when DD2 was on 200ml of formula, we would put 135mls of water in first, chuck it in the fridge, then when it was time for a feed, the water was cold, so we added 65ml of boiling water, which made the water the perfect temp for drinking - nice and warm. Then we added the formula, shook it up and there you go - a quick and easy way to prepare a bottle at the perfect temp without needing to heat it up in a jug of water beforehand

Mel, that's exactly what I do! Very easy peasy...

yep from the day we started formula, I boil the water fill the bottles and they sit on a shelf above the sink, I dont let the boiled water be any older the 24hrs though

My DD has only ever had room temp feeds. I figure that if it is all they have ever known then they won't complain (yep - am a very bad mother LOL!)

I love Mel's idea though - I will have to remember that one!

DD started off with HOT HOT bottles- she wouldnt drink them unless they were hot, then one day when she was teething a bit, she started fussing on the hot ones, i had one in the fridge ready to heat up and i thought, what they heck and gave it to her cold, she loved it and drank it!! Now she goes with cold, room temp or hot, depending how she feels at the time lol, but usually room temp. Same as the others, i just put cooled water in the bottle and then add the formula and she drinks it like that. Its much handier when going out!!!

But i do find she likes her bed time bottle a bit warm, like Mel says, i think it helps them go to sleep a bit better!

Bella would never drink it unless it was hot - I have accually tasted formula both warm and cold and it tastes WAY better when warm (well as good as it can taste!!)

I still warm her cows milk in the micro coz she hates cold milk just as much!

I was a "bad" mum and made all my formula bottles up in the morning and then just zapped them in the micro....unless I was going out and then it was just boiling water and take formula with us.

I do like Mels idea! I hope (fingers crossed) that I will not need this time around but if I do then Ill do it that way!
