does anyone have any tips on warming baby food when out and about picnicing etc, I've read poor reviews on food flasks not staying warm, are heat paks any better? any good products out there ? any top tips?

Babies will eat food at room temperature so I wouldn't worry too much. Or else if you are going to eat soonish after leaving home, heat it up very hot so it has cooled down to warm by the time you feed your child.

I'd judt feed it to them at room temp tbh, much better tog et them used to food that isn't warmed up so if you are stuck somewhere unable to heat it they will still eat the food iuswim.

either heat it to piping hot before going out so it cools down by the time you are ready to eat or serve food that doesnt need heating e.g. banana, yoghurt, breadsticks, pancakes, etc
