I think I accidentally gave my 16 week old baby milk when it was too hot for her. I tried giving it too her when it was cool but she was refusing it so I put the bottle in about 150ml of boiled water and put washing on (she has 180ml of milk now). When I came back, I tested the milk on both my wrist and my finger (sometimes it feels ok on my wrist but feels too hot on my finger so I always test both). It was a little warm on my finger but I didn't think it was hot so I gave it to her. She started crying when I gave it to her and spat the bottle out but didn't spit the milk out. She then took about 4oz of it a minute later and then continued crying. I tried to get her to sleep as I could see that was what she wanted but she was crying too much. I gave her some calpol but she fell asleep halfway through the dose. Do you think the milk was too hot?
I'm also thinking of weaning her not long after she's turned 4 months because she's not wanting as much milk anymore but she's still hungry. Babies used to be weaned at 4 months and they're fine. Is this a good idea?
Thanks
