Is it necessary to warm infants' feeds?

C Costalos, I Ross, A G Campbell

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    The temperature of milk feeds does not affect how quickly it leaves a newborn infant's stomach. This study on infant gastric emptying found no significant difference between body and room temperature milk.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal physiology
    • Gastrointestinal motility

    Background:

    • Gastric emptying is crucial for nutrient absorption in newborns.
    • Infant feeding practices often involve temperature adjustments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of milk feed temperature on gastric emptying in neonates.
    • To determine if body temperature versus room temperature milk affects infant digestion.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 31 newborn infants.
    • Administered modified cow's milk test meals at two temperatures: body temperature and room temperature.
    • Monitored gastric emptying rates.

    Main Results:

    • Milk temperature (body vs. room) did not significantly alter gastric emptying times.
    • No discernible effect of feed temperature on the rate of stomach emptying was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Infant milk feed temperature has no significant effect on gastric emptying.
    • Clinical practices regarding milk temperature for infant feeds may not require strict adherence to body temperature for optimal gastric emptying.
