warming BM when out and about?

KidsRN

If you bottlefeed EBM to your DC, how do you go about warming up the bottle when you are out running errands?

I pack the bottle of EBM in a freezer pack thing, so it would be very cold to drink.

Thanks!

I am not sure but I have seen bottle warmers for the car that you plug into the cigarette lighter.

If I am at a restaurant I get a cup of hot water.

I normally nurse in public, but the few times that I've taken a bottle out and about with us, I just toss it in the diaper bag and let it warm up to room temperature.  LO has taken it with no problems.

I think I have seen a bottle warmer with a car adapter at Target.

I have a bottle warmer, but I have only used it once so I can't really say how efficient it is....I believe it takes it a little while to warm up.  I normally will throw a bottle in the diaper bag and let it just get to room temp.

I've done all of the above:

Toss bottle in the diaper bag and let it warm to room temp. Takes about 2 hours in my diaper bag since it's somewhat insulated. If it still has a chill when I take it out, I try to warm it by rolling it between my hands or putting it in my pants pocket. 

If at a restaurant, ask for a hot cup of water, and drop the bottle in. Takes about 2 min depending on how hot the water is.

We have the car bottle warmer for longer car rides. It is effective, but seems to take a while to warm. And a hungry crying baby in a car is heartwrenching. I prefer to put the bottle in the cup holder when we get in the car and let it warm naturally.
