with formula does the water need to be cold or warm??? how do you warm up the formula sorry I'm confused I been…

Most babies drink formula warm, if it's cold it can upset their tummy, or give them a tummy ache. I've also seen posts about babies who only drink formula cold. We use a bottle warmer to warm up Elliot's formula

ok thank you I have been stressing myself out @vb95

Warm water love and no you shouldn't really warm up formula you can warm up the water then put the formula in the bottle or you can use a warmer that's what it's for but not the microwave

Don't! It'll be ok! There's instructions on the formula container on now to mix it, and there's instructions online as well. It's super simple to mix and warm it up. I definitely recommend getting a bottle warmer, we used a bowl of warm water for a while but it took forever to heat it through. @katelynn

thank you so much y'all :) @mommyagain m @vb95

your supply could be regulating. usually happens around 4-6 weeks. i bf and pump. bottle warmer is the way to go!

I been pumping but not getting enough for her :( @_akgirl.

There is nothing wrong with warming up formula in a bottle warmer, that's what they're for. It becomes a problem when you try to warm the formula in a microwave. @mommyagain @katelynn

can a bottle warmer be used with any kind of bottles @_akgirl. @mommyagain m @vb95

We have a dr Browns one, because we use the dr Browns bottles. But I'm sure if you got a generic bottle warmer you could put any bottle in there. @katelynn

my daughter would only drink at room temperature...we bought nursery water and left it on the counter...it made making her bottle quicker.

Pumping isn't indication of supply. ar you only pumping at not putting to breast?

@katelynn, yes love just make sure your bottles will fit inside

@meagansimone, m yes my supply has gotten low I pump full time thank you @mommyagain m @eskawho e @vb95

If you want to keep your supply, you need to pump every 2 hours for at 5 minutes after last drop. Stay hydrated and eat oats

I have been I'm trying everything I can :( @meagansimone

It's hard. Are you using an electric or manual?

electric @meagansimone

try a manua all, you may get more that way
