Warming bottle when out.

Just curious how you warm up baby's bottle when you are out and about? So far all of our outings have been centered around feeding times.

Re: Warming bottle when out.

  • I am BFing and breast milk can sit at room tempeture for a while so I do one of two things.  If I am going somewhere I can't BF or warm a bottle I take the bottle at room temp.  If I am at a resturant I ask for a cup of hot water.

  • We have DD used to room temp (sometimes even cool bottles), and it is one of the greatest things we have done. If your LO has to have warm bottles, the make travel bottle warmers that plug into your car. Or they make these heating packs which are basically the opposite of the freezer packs you use to keep things cool.

  • My lo doesnt care if its cold, he just wants to eat it :) but if I have frozen milk I go to the bathroom and use hot water from the sink

  • When I switched my first to formula I used only room temperature water..if that's all they know, that's what they will drink.  Makes life MUCH easier.

  • We have a bottle warmer and bring along a thermos filled with boiling water that we can throw in the warmer (if there's nowhere to plug the warmer in). It's kind of complicated, but it works!

  • We bring bottles ready with water whenever we go out. That way they are room temperature, then we just add powered formula.

  • We store bottles in a lunch bag that is meant to keep cold things cold (can't think of the term for that right now...). This way, even if we didn't use the bottle while out, we can still use it later, because it's maintaining it's refrigerated temp.

    We also carry a plastic container that we fill with whatever warm/hot water we can find. Sometimes it's warm tap water, sometimes it's water that gets microwaved to a boil, sometimes it's boiling water at a restaurant. Then we put the bottle in the container for 30-60 seconds to warm up (the same we do at home).

  • I used to do a cup of warm water when we were at a friends or restaurant. Just plop the bottle in and let it warm up. If we were on a road trip then we used an automobile bottle warmer that someone gave us at our shower.
