Yeh your not supposed to use a microwave cos it makes hot spots in the milk but most people do anyways, and really if u shake it a .L.O.T after then the hot spots woulda gone?? But then you have a lot of air in the milk making the baby have gas....Breastfeeding is way better but yeh.
I think bottle warmers are a good thing to have. I keep one in my bedroom so I can heat a bottle from the fridge real quick in the middle of the night in my room. Maybe they dont cause hot spots like the microwave does?? I dunno but im glad I bought one.
Bridget did you mean finn always drinks cold milk just incase u get caught some place where u cant heat up a bottle?? Im not sure what you were saying but if thats the case I feel sorry for him...Poor kid
Edited to add -you should always boil the water to kill bacteria for your babys formula. I know a couple of people who only did it for the first few weeks....Lazy!
you should put your baby's health first always.

it's room temperature, not cold. Why do you feel sorry for him? There's no reason to heat bottles and he has no problem with his room temperature ones. I just chose not to heat his bottles, not because i'm afraid i'll be out and won't be able to, but because there's no reason to so why make him a picky eater who will only take it warmed? They didn't offer to warm his bottles in the hospital so it's obviously not necessary.

i do put my baby's health first. Maybe you have unhealthy water but i've never been told to boil any water. The pediatrician knows I use tap and he's happy about it. If I had well-water i'd definitely boil it but I don't.

The cans of formula I buy say to only use boiled, cooled water to make the bottles up with so that is what i've always done. I always sterilised his bottles until he was 12 months old too.
Perhaps in .America people aren't told to boil the water for babies' bottles? I don't think it's because our water is impure or anything. It seems the advice given to mothers in the .U.S differs a lot from that in the .U.K in many things.
