Cool/Cold Breastmilk?

windbloom · Oct 29th, 2009, 14:59 PM

I was just wondering what kind of difference this makes?
My little man was hungry yesterday at his grandmas, and she aws super excited to feet him, plus, well, he was hungry, as he started to wail... After running his bottle of EBM under the tap for awhile it was still pretty cool, but we gave it to him anyway.

I was just wondering if cool/cold breastmilk is a no-no, or if it really matters?

TIA.

I asked the MW, and she said that it was just the preference of the baby, and you can fed it straight out of the fridge if you want to - just most babies prefer it warmer. I tend to leave it in boiling water for a couple of mins, just to take the chill off and he enjoys it!

As Kathryn says - babies preference. Noah will take his either way.

After OH had fed Harvey around 10 bottles I discovered he didn't know you were supposed to heat it

Harvey didn't seem to bat an eyelid that his mik was straight from the fridge though.
