FTM: Warming a bottle on the go?

Question

Hey! FTM here and I have a (dumb?) question. I breastfeed and recently started pumping as well. My question is if I wanted to feed my son a bottle on the go, how can I get it warmed up for him? Or do I need to do room temp? Buy a portable warmer? What's the recommendation on that? Or just use a thermos? Please help!

Answer

We kept the breastmilk bottles in a cooler and then used this thermos to warm them.

Answer

I had a bottle warmer that plugged into the car lighter spot. It’s like a heating pad that wraps around the bottle. The brand was munchkin.

Thank you everyone! This was so helpful!! Love this kind of community!❤❤

Answer

I just left it at room temp. I would carry a bottle with milk in it in a small lunch box and carry my manual breast pump to pump when my little one would take a bottle so I didn’t fill up and get engorged. I would also keep an ice pack for the pumped milk and freeze it when I got home

This thing was amazing and under$20

Answer

I breast feed at home but take a bottle sometimes when we're on the go. I also give a bottle a day for my little guy to take his vitamin D. He takes his bottle straight from the fridge or cooler no problem.

Answer

Not a dumb question! I brought a thermos of hot water, and a big cup. Then, I would pour the water from the thermos to the cup and put the bottle in it to warm (the bottle was too big to fit in my little thermos without spilling all the water, hence the cup). I don’t know if that was the most efficient way, but it definitely worked when traveling!

Answer

If it’s from a frozen bag I’d probably defrost it first then just let it go to room temp
