CVT wear question

CVT wear question
I live in Minnesota, and even with a block heater it seems my transmission is slow to respond after sitting overnight. For instance when backing out of my garage in the morning, I'll put the car in Reverse, and then sit there not applying any pressure to the gas pedal, sometimes it will take upwards of 30 seconds before the car begins to move backwards.
When I shift into Drive, it will sometimes take a few seconds before the CVT makes the gear change, likely due to the cold transmission fluid.
Does shifting in cold weather cause extra wear to the CVT, or I am I worrying unnecessarily?
Thanks in advance!

A BH will not warm your CVT! This is normal in colder climate. Nothing to worry about. I normally just wait for it , then go. After driving a short distance everything is back to norm. Hal
