Off of Formula now drinking milk question

DS just started drinking milk and is completely off formula (12months). My question is what or how should I take his milk when I go out. With formula it was easy since he drank the ready to feed and I used to by the 8 ounce bottles (to go). Won't the milk spoil if left out for long periods? Sorry, I'm completely clueless with this. TIA

Thermus sippie or any insulated bottle (trans to bottle if needed) or one of those soft cooler bottle totes. I only do this if Im going to be outdoors most of the day (beach park outdoor party)

I never brought milk out. They don't need as much milk as formula because they should be getting all nutrients from food now.

Same. I never took it out. I only give milk in the mornings with breakfast and at night. Before bed or with dinner. They only need 20-24 oz a day so that's about 2 sippy cups.

If I did need to bring it, then I had a cooler bag and threw a small ice pack in it. But I really try and avoid it and only bring water. If water spills no big deal anything else is a pain to clean up

They only get milk with breakfast and dinner, so I only bring water when we are out and about. Now that my older DS is 3 and can handle them, I will occasionally pack a Horizon milk box.

We never take milk with us. He gets water while we're out. I know I could always buy a cup from a restaurant or whatever, but we've never done that.

I give in am when they wake and pm before bed. I have a skip hop insulated bad I use if I'm going to families. I just put in the fridge when I get there. Or if we are at a restaurant I skip the bottles. They eat a lot of dairy anyway so it's ok once in awhile
