How does everyone defrost and warm up for baby to drink?
My daughter is only 11 hours old and we’ve been sent home but I feel like she’s not latching properly to one side and she’s just getting frustrated. I do have 40 syringes that I’ve collected though.

I put them in a glass of boiling water (with the sterile caps on) for a few mins and then just squirted into a bottle, or directly into little ones mouth (slowly, into the corner)

It'll be cold for you but tuck it under your boob, or hold it in your hands or between your thighs for a few minutes. It's such a small syringe that it'll defrost very quickly (if you have the 1ml syringes) and then slowly feed it directly into her mouth

My midwife told me no need to defrost it in hot/warm water. Hold it between your hands or under your armpit for a few minutes. It is so small that it will defrost quickly. Then give it on the inside of the cheek slowly. Half of the 1ml syringe a meal apparently is all a newborn needs in the first 1-3 days.
