Breast milk is the perfect food for babies. It provides all the nutrients that a growing baby needs, and it even changes as your little one grows older! But when it comes to feeding time, there's always the debate about whether you should warm up breast milk before giving it to your little bundle of joy.
Warm breast milk might not be best
While many parents prefer to warm up their baby's milk before feeding them, there are some who believe that room-temperature breast milk is just fine. In fact,studies show that heating breast milk can actually destroy some of its important nutrients, including enzymes and antibodies.
But why do people still do this?
Well, let's face it: nobody wants to drink cold (let alone frozen) anything if they don't have to. So if you want your baby’s mealtime experience to be more like yours - pouring from a steaming cup of morning coffee -then warming up their bottle of liquid gold may just make sense...or does it?
