What's the right temperature?

You've probably heard by now that you should never put your baby's bottles in the microwave, but here's a little secret you may not know:

You don't have to heat your baby's bottles at all.

Both of my babies have taken room-temperature bottles. You can read all about my storage methods here, and when it's time to eat, I just add the formula (more on that later), shake it up, and go.

Ba-bas and Colt's games--it doesn't get any better for father & son!!

If you're already heating your baby's bottles, you may be stuck because he may just flat-out refuse to take anything less than a toasty warm bottle. However, for all you mamas-to-be out there, I strongly recommend the room-temperature bottle. You're never at risk of burning your baby's mouth, the bottle is always at the right temperature, and let's face it, it's easier, faster and there's no second-guessing about the temperature of the bottle.

Side bar--I have a bottle warmer that I got as a shower gift a few years ago if anybody wants it :)
