View Full Version : warming baby bottles?
dws_60 07-02-2005, 12:05 PM Hi,
I wanted to know before going where in both parks you could warm bottles after dinner...
Thanks for your help
Mrs. Newseditor44 07-02-2005, 12:12 PM There is a baby center at both parks. The one in Disneyland is located across from the corn dog cart next to first aid. The one at DCA is next to first aid which is next to Mission Tortilla. They have high chairs, microwaves and a changing area for the little ones.

That might work if you use a thermal bottle, although even then I would think the water might cool too much over the course of the day.
While the Baby Care Centers were the easiet choice, one other option we discovered was that most restaurants will give you a cup of hot water if you ask for it. While that water is likely to be near boiling and, thus, way too warm to use for mixing with formula, you can use it as a makeshift bottle warmer.

dws_60 07-03-2005, 03:02 PM actually we use baby cereals mix with milk or baby kind nesquick... we thought to get the bottle from the PP where we 'll be staying just before dinner...
thanks for all the help
you guys are great!
hersheythecat 07-06-2005, 08:57 AM Make sure if you are in a restaurant and ask for water that you explain what it is for. We had problems explaining to some of the servers that I needed a large glass half full of HOT water. Alot of times they brought me a glass full of water.
JeffG 07-06-2005, 08:36 PM When in the Disneyland Baby Care Center on Monday, we noticed that they have replaced the microwave oven with boiling water-based bottle warmers. We didn't go into the DCA Baby Care Center, so I don't know if they have also made that change.

na if its going to be hotter then 80 degrees the water will be perfect. Babys do not need real warm milk. if you cary a unoipened bottle of room temp water it will be fine for any age baby.

That depends on the baby. Our son preferred his formula warmer than that and often would refuse it if it was too cold.

Hakuna Makarla 07-06-2005, 08:47 PM both hospitals here do not warm there baby bottles, they pull them right out of the cuboards and give it to the baby. room temp. I asked about it and they said, if you start them out this way they will drink there milk room temp. on warm days it better room temp my doctor told me so they do not over heat.
adriennek 07-06-2005, 09:04 PM You know what, Karla, this really just needs to be one of those things that each parent knows what's right for his/her child.
Many kids start out breastfed- that milk is at least 98.6 degrees everytime!
It's really not that big a deal if parents want to warm their milk for their babies and DLR has many ways to help parents warm their bottles. I'm so glad they have bottle warmers because microwaves can heat unevenly and breastmilk should never be put in a microwave. Good on Disney for having bottle warmers!

I was just saying what the hospitals do around here and if you are to far away from one and you feel the bottle is warm enough then go for it.
if not your the parent do what you want.
adriennek 07-06-2005, 09:10 PM I got the feeling you considered it a big deal because you kept posting about it, repeatedly.

ummmm no, I was posting my opinions like we all do
I could care less since my kids are not on them, and yes I used the room temp method. I would not walk to any baby station to warm up a bottle, but again I did not need to. to each his own. every mother or father is different.

Shortiemetoo 07-07-2005, 12:15 PM Well actually I am glad I read this post, as next April we will be traveling with my soon to be grandson for about 5 days to DL and DCA.
He will be 7 mos. old by then and will be breast fed until that point...or at least the first 6 mos...I have no idea what our needs will be at that time, but this gave me some good tips!
Karla I see your point as well taken...The nice thing about carrying the formula or warm water in a thermos type bottle is a good idea as it will be formula mixed with water we can bring from home!! No water changes that could upset a little ones tummy!!!!
Adrienne and others...I am glad to hear about the warming stations...as I am not sure what we will have available or be using at that time! I am just glad he will be able to have some food by then...as he wont have to have as much formula!!!
Have a nice day everyone!!
VickiC 07-07-2005, 02:05 PM I'm a lazy mum. When my older daughter got expressed milk she got it ice cold out of the fridge, or at best room temp.
CoasterChickie 07-07-2005, 11:49 PM ummmm no, I was posting my opinions like we all do
Aw don't feel bad Karla, I enjoyed reading your posts about baby bottles and what people are currently doing. Brought back a lot of memories of what I used to do when my kids were little. I always did what was the most convenient for wherever I was.
But it's really nice that DL and DCA have the baby stations . They probably had them when my kids were little too, but if they did I didn't know about them.
Just wanted to add that I do think if you're mixing your formula , it's a good idea to try to use the same water you always use as there will be less chance of tummy upset. I've always had a very sensitive stomach when it comes to changes in water so to this day, I still always try to take or buy the same brand wherever I go.
PS Vicki C...are you English? I like the way you call yourself "Mum." :)
Matt Hamand 07-08-2005, 08:12 AM When in the Disneyland Baby Care Center on Monday, we noticed that they have replaced the microwave oven with boiling water-based bottle warmers. We didn't go into the DCA Baby Care Center, so I don't know if they have also made that change.
This is a good change for dads like me. I carry bottles of breast milk, when I carry bottles at all. Breast milk isn't supposed to be microwaved.
hersheythecat 07-20-2005, 09:43 AM Keep in mind also, for Disney hotels, if you tell them that you need a fridge for breastmilk or formula they will not charge you for it. At least at WDW. That helped alot for my daughter whose first visit to WDW was at 5 weeks old. I was able to pump enough to keep in the fridge so that when we went to the parks, I could carry milk with me in case I was not comfortable feeding in the open.
