My son will take both, generally its warm if we in house and see him starting to make the hungry signs we put his bottle in the warmer, but if out and about / in car / first thing in morning its room temp, he makes no difference between the two x

If you decied to warm it up do not use a microwave to heat it because they have hot spots and some of the formula will br hotter than what it is suppose to be and it will burn the baby only use a bottle warmer

They say it settles there stomach when it's warm, but no cold formula(only room temp and warmer) and no microwaves.

Room temp. That's what the nurses gave him after he was born and we haven't had any problems. It's easier to deal with.

I've heard that people heat it up because it helps with digestion but not sure I always heated my babies bottles up.

Noooo! Lol. I made this mistake with my first daughter. I warmed all her bottles and then when we were on car rides or something she would refuse a room temp bottle. So inconvient to have to pull over all the time or try and find a microwave at a grocery store while she screamed. My sister started my niece out on room temp and it was so much easier, she would take a bottle outa the diaper bag, add formula and her daughter had no problem drinking it. If your baby will take room temp formula, i strongly recommend it. I will definitely be using only room temp formula with this one due in Oct.

Yeah I weaned my baby to the room temp because it is sooo much easier when you are on the go. Now I just keep some of those little bottles of water in the diaper bag. And I have a special smaller bag for my pumped breast milk to keep it insulated.

Its really just your preference and your babies. Some like it warm. I use room temp cuz its easier for me and my baby seems to be okay with that lol

My baby boy is 6 weeks old and I just give it to him room temp. If its been in the fridge he will take it, but I still warm it up for him.
