Warming bottles on the go

Starfish+77 · June 2013

What method do you use to warm a bottle when feeding on the go? I've tried giving it to my DD cold and she refused the bottle. So the princess needs it warm. I read about the Warmzee but not sure if it actually works. And would prefer not to buy something.

What do you do?

I should have added.... We use ready to feed formula and not the powder. Tried the powder earlier on and she did not do well. So I can't just mix up a bottle right before she eats.

Have you tried gradually reducing the temperature? That's how we got DD to take room temperature bottles and food.

We do just room temperature. I gradually reduced the temps of his bottles

What about carrying a thermos with you, that you fill with hot water before you leave the house, and then you can pour some water into a cup (or the lid) and stick the bottle in it for a little bit. That is actually what they do in most NICUs with the ready to feed bottles. We have a Tommee Tippee travel bottle warmer that is exactly this, but I feel like you wouldnt have to buy a specific one, just any thermos would do.

This. Or we bought a warmer that plugs into the lighter in the car. It was like $20 and it has helped out a lot, especially when we had to drive from VA Beach to Arkansas. It does take a while to warm a bottle, but it your LO has to have it warm it's a big help.

This. We just used a thermos (bought for under $10 at walmart). It was super easy and takes less than a min usually to warm. Before we left home I would just put water in a cup in the microwave for a couple of mins then poured it in a thermos.

Just depends where we are. Usually, I do it room temp, but if I am at any store, etc then I just run it under hot water in their bathroom to warm it up.

This. Or, at the airport, I've asked a coffee shop for a cup of plain hot water to warm a bottle and they were very nice to give it to me. Same with a McDonalds. Worked great.

Stuck the bottle in my cleavage. The boobs are hot! I'm not a huge girl but I can warm a 3 oz bottle in a 20 minute drive. (Works even better than putting between my thighs while driving.

Lurking from 3-6, but thought I'd chime in. My SIL gave us this, and I really like it. It doesn't get bottles warm, but up to room temp.
