It just took too long to heat the milk up all the time. It also meant a bottle would last longer since it started out cold. The key for us was to make the transition a very gradual process. Good luck with the pumping, and I hope you find a good milk temperature! hi jmb:

Is there a true reason why we need to warm it, other than that's how it comes from mom? If it truly doesn't matter, we could be saving our eardrums from the screaming baby! I too am a pumping mom. Katie was a NICU baby and so we didn't have much time the first couple days together to get the hang of it. She's doing better, but I've become so accustomed to pumping that it almost seems like a time waster to try to actaully breast feed her. It's good to know that there are others that tread the path before me. I was wondering why you started giving cold milk instead of warming it?

If you guys have the secret to have her on the bottle let me know. She refuses a bottle and I want to go out for my birthday. DD likes it straight from the tap.

If it is room temp, our 5 mo old won't touch it, and instead will cry loudly in public places. I wish he liked it cold!!! Warm, almost on the hot side.

This is mainly because I try to keep the focus on human babies. But since you asked, I got an undergraduate in Design from NCSU, and a MFA in Painting at SAIC. After school, I worked as a graphic designer. All of the charts and graphs were approached as design problems, and were influenced by the information design principles advocated by Edward Tufte. I hope this helps with your question. Thanks for visiting! Hi Vicky,

She put your website as "COOL SITE" of the day today. It is a riot! What a legacy for your daughter. Being a pediatric optometrist I found it very interesting that a non-physician would discover the visual stimuli and arrive at the same conclusion that the visual scientist did! I have to admit I had some very good belly-laughs reading about it! I *have* to know what your training is. I'm guessing researcher, statistician, engineer, psychologist, math teacher? If it's on your site somewhere I haven't stumbled upon it. I found your website through Kim Komando, the radio computer talk show host. She put your website as “COOL SITE” of the day today.

Started that way when she was newborn and prefered it fast to warm. Then it became what she (and we) were accustomed to. My hubby is a SAHD for > 1yr now, doing great! Cold.

But only or a brief while. After a week or so, I noticed she'd dribbling and bottle coldness were highly correlated.

They really seem to like both. 17 month old triplets. We do both, warmed in the bottle for morning feed, and out of a sippy cup cold for the rest of the day.
