Warming up bottles on the go

hi

I am wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. When I am out and about I often need to give my little one a bottle and she likes it warmed up, and won't drink it cool. I carry a hot flask but when baby is already crying for a bottle theres nothing more stressful than having to wait 5 minutes for it to warm up!

Has anyone had this problem and come across any products that can do this process quicker or more handy on the go?

Maybe put powder in a bottle, take a flask of hot water, and another of cooled water and mix together.

Yep, I take pre-portion powder, empty bottles and cooled like water. Then I ask for hot water from a cafe into the bottle, add powder, mix, top up with the cooled boiled water and good to go. Obviously only works if you're near cafes, otherwise I guess a flask of hot water would work (although I'd be nervous about whether it's hot enough by the time I need it).

WHAT they said^. Longer term try to get DC to take cooler and cooler bottles, makes your life easier.

Are you taking ready made up formula and putting the bottle in a cup of hot water from your thermos to heat up? This is what I did. The only advice I have is to buy a really decent thermos that actually keeps the water hot ( think mine was guaranteed 80% up to 8 hours)! Or ask for boiling water if in cafe.
