s Serving Warm Formula The Best For Your

Baby?
Could be.

Basically, it all depends on your baby's preference. In fact, some

babies prefer having their milk a little chilled. But that might be a result
of getting used to.

According to experts, there really isn't any need for milk formula to be
warmed up before being fed to the baby. Newborns however, are an
exception. Experienced moms and health experts strongly
recommend luke-warm milk formula for babies 0-6 months old.
Infants have tummies that are so fragile that serving feeding them cold
or chilled milk can lead to rejection or worse, stomach upset. In this
case, warmed up milk is much more preferable and it gives the babies
a somewhat simulated feeling that they're being fed with natural
breastmilk.

As the baby gets older, room temperature or even cold-serve milk

becomes more and more acceptable. This also proves to be an
advantage for parents especially those who travel frequently with their
babies since it doesn't require the trouble of heating the bottle.

Is It Safe To Reheat Your Baby's Milk?

NO!

We know that there will be those times that you've already prepared

the bottle and your baby doesn't finish it all up. For most parents,
throwing away good milk is somewhat heavy on one's hands
and storing it in the fridge for later consumption may seem to be the
only viable option. 
After taking the baby bottle out of the fridge and have it exposed to
room temperature, the parent only has utmost an hour to get rid of
the milk. It is also strongly discouraged to reheat leftover milk taken
out from the fridge because it only helps bacteria to thrive and
multiply.
The following video will explain further about the dangers in reheating
milk:

How Do You Keep Baby Bottles Warm?

Basically, the rule of thumb here is to never recycle especially reheat
leftover milk. Instead, keeping freshly made milk warm for your baby is
a more acceptable solution whether you are at home or while
traveling. 

Bear in mind that we strongly discourage warming recycled milk or

one that has been mixed hours earlier. Instead, use a fresh one for
each feeding session.

At home
When you are at home, you definitely won't have any trouble keeping
your baby's feeding bottle warm. Simply take out a bowl and fill it with
warm water and place the feeding bottle in it for about 10-15 minutes.

Remember that securing the right temperature is the key to providing

your baby a delicious and warm milk. It should not be too hot nor too
cold. Lukewarm is the perfect temperature for your baby's bottle.

An easier and hassle-free option for mothers in keeping baby bottles

warm when at home is the electric bottle warmer. Simply fill the
warmer with enough water to provide coverage on the most part of the
bottle. Secure the bottle into the warmer and then plug it in. In most
cases, the feeding bottle can be kept inside the warmer for utmost two
hours.

On the go
When traveling, keeping the baby bottle warm prior to feeding can be
quite tricky and challenging. Fortunately nowadays, there's an arsenal
of easy-to-use portable and mobile bottle warmers that are built
specially for traveling parents. 

Car bottle warmers are innovative devices that easily plug into your
car's adapter. It's basically designed for use inside the car but some
manufacturers produced bottle warmers that can be used on both
indoor and outdoor settings.
