I always prepare my daughters at room temperature and give it too her. She never had any tummy troubles. It makes it so much easier if you go out. My son I made the mistake of heating his up which meant quite often if we were out he wouldn't drink. If you're baby will drink it fine don't worry about what others think. What ever works for you and bubs.

Whatever temperature they like it should be fine. If you notice any issues with it cold, then switch back, but if he likes it and it doesn't bother him... why have it warm?

The cold formula can cause stomach problems. Making the baby more susceptible to throwing up and stomach cramps. I say can because each child is different. My daughter preferred it cold.
So, it depends on the child. Try it for a few days and see if there is any stomach issues.

I'm confused. I just gave it warm or room temp until about 10 months and by 11 and 12 they took cold things. If he likes it and it doens't upset him then who cares.

Our pediatrician said, if they take it cold then have at it! Fridge cold is perfectly fine.

If by cold you mean cooled down to room temperature then it's fine, if you mean chilled in the fridge, then no they shouldn't have it that cold.

No - it hurts their tummy ... As long as baby takes a bottle keep it warm ...

Thanx Ladies, anyway he doesn't have any stomac problem, he only enjoys it. He usually plays with the bottle till it becomes cold then he starts sucking it but ma fear is because it is winter now so is it not gonna make him coughing.

I always gave my firstborn cold formula. If they take it, and it doesn't upset their stomach, go for it. Way easier.

Is there a cold formula that has recommendations for that age? if so then why not?

If your baby will take it, then go ahead! Makes it easier when they switch to milk or if you don't have access to a microwave/bottle warmer.
