How to warm bottles in public??

[sandrass]

I usually bring a bottle of water, and powdered formula and mix as I go. However if I am in a mall or something, how do I warm the formula for her? She likes it a little warm.

I either take a fresh bottle of boiled water out with me and put it in the thermal pocket in my bag so it stayed warm or if i'm in a cafe or some thing i just ask for a jug of hot water to stand it in. Also some places have bottle warmers in the changing areas, Mothercare do and so does my local shopping mall, worth taking a look

I have a tin that fits the bottle and I carry a flask of hot water with me so all I need to do is pore water in tin and warm bottle. but mothercare also has a bottle warmers in changing rooms.

I've got the Tommee Tippee flask, so I put water in that and it stays the right temp it works as a bottle warmer too, but that's too fiddly for me!

we take a flask of hot water with us and a plastic jar that fits a bottle in. so all we do is put the hot water into the jar and warm the bottle, then tip the hot water back into the flask.

Alot of restuarants etc will give you a jug of hot water if you ask, other than that a flask is a good idea too

I used the tommee tippee flask which was great x

Quick question, ladies: does the tommee tippee flask / bottle warmer thing work with dr brown's bottles (ie do the bottles fit in the warmer bit?)

 

[Mynx]

I use Tesco wide neck bottles and they have a great big bulbous base, a bit like the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles and they fit in with no problems. I should think the Dr Brown one would fit

 

[indieknits]

Yup Dr. Brown's bottles fit in the TT travel warmer no problems. Also if you are after a cool bag, they fit nicely in the MAM ones

Do Avent bottles fit in the warmer? x

 

[Mynx]

They should do, they're not as wide as the TT ones so Avent ones should fit with no probs x

 

[suzib76]

yes i havent seen a bottle too big for it tbh

If the feed it less than 5 hours away, I take a bottle with freshly boiled water in my insulated bag, which keeps it hot for that long. I take the powder separately, and then if it's too hot when I need it I go to a cafe and ask for some cold water whilst I have a cuppa - some places are funny about giving you a jug of hot water, but nowhere cares if it's cold!

If i'm going to be out all day, i buy the SMA cartons of milk, and naughty as this is, i'll ask the place where we stop for lunch to stick it in the microwave for like 15/20 seconds, then give it a good shake around & check the temp is ok. Like i say, naughty, i know.

If i'm going out for a couple of hours, i'll feed her before i go out then make up a bottle, by the time she wants it, it's cooled down.

i did this once in bhs and it came back scalding, they even had the cheek to tell me it was ok when i asked for cold water to cool it down - in the end i had to pour some out and open another carton so i could pour in cool milk - would never trust anyone again
