Hi this is my first post here!

Thanks

how far are you going?

fresh breast milk is fine un-refridgerated for several hours

i normally put it in a small bottle in my tommee tippee insulated bottle bag though

This probably sounds daft, but when I used to express at work, I used an insulated cool bag and also put the bottle of milk inside the sleeve that was actually from my wine bottle cooler!

an insulated cool bag with a small ice pack could work if you are travelling a long distance

I struggled to find a small coolbag - Avent make one designed to fit two bottles which is quite neat, and fits a few bags of breastmilk and a little ice pack

Here's my wine bottle cooler

and I noticed they have this beer cooler sleeve which would probably work well too.

I just like the idea of repurposing things, I think.

Some changing bags like Pacapod have a little thermal pouch for food and a bottle sleeve you could use.
I don't work for Pacapod btw, just a personal recommendation!
