Room Temp is Best

By Ellen and Rachel on July 9, 2009

Do you struggle to warm that formula or pureed food to the perfect temp? Not too warm, not too cold … just right? Newsflash — your little Goldilocks won’t know the difference if she’s never had it warmed up in the first place. Start early before she’s gotten used to ‘just right’, and make room temp the standard. She’ll be just as happy and you won’t have to stress when you’re traveling or away from a warming source. Added benefit: No risk of overheating in the microwave!
