How do I make a bottle of formula when out and about?

Due to lockdown I’ve never had to make a feed when out of the house, and when making them at home I’ve always used a perfect prep machine. We can’t use the ready made bottles sold in supermarkets as it is not available in the anti reflux formula we use. Apologies for a very silly question, but I don’t know how we’d make the feed when out and ensure that it is the right temperature?

I have this problem too..so I'm clueless as to how to do it without a prep machine

Would an option be to make up the formula using boiled hot water in a thermos. Then put the bottle in a bowl of cold water to cool down before the feed?

Feel a bit behind on learning things parents would know quite early on!!!

Don't make the bottle up. You can buy little formula tubs. We had TT ones but you can buy mam ones. Even Asda do their own ones. You just scoop how many ounces you need into each tub and all done. Ready to go.
