Traveling Heating Up Bottle

When you travel far away like on a plane how do you heat up bottles when your away? Did you pack the bottle warmer? Take it as carry on?

Suggestions welcome!

Traveling Heating Up Bottle

As far as heating a bottle up on the plane... I would heat it up prior to boarding.

OK, here's what we did when we went to Disney with an 11 mo old:
Room temp bottle water and powdered formula. We actually kept the bottles of water under the carriage and got them warm in the Florida sun.

But we also have the Tommee Tippee bottle warmer which is essentially a thermos with a cover. You pour the water in the cover and put the bottle in there to heat. The thermos keeps the water pretty hot for like 10 hours.

I never heated DS bottles. He either drank cold or room temp. There was no way I was lugging a warmer. If you really need warm I would just run it under hot water or get a cup of hot water and put the bottle in it.

i was goignt o suggest if it's needs to be warm for lo to take it, even on the plane, I'm sure you could ask for just warm water. They serve tea, most arilines, and place the bottle in the cup for a few mins. Or go to the bathroom and run the bottle under the sink and hot water.

If it doesn't need to be warm, they just room temp water.

My dd only drinks ready to feed. Thank you for all the ideas though. But now I just realized another issue. Since she drinks ready to feed will they let me bring that on the plane?

Yes they will. They will swipe the outside of the bottles for residue and it will take a few extra mins but as long as its in the container or bottle I don't think you will have an issue

Both my ds's drank rtf formula. After a certain point, I just gave it to them cold from the fridge. Made going anywhere really easy! They both wound up liking it better! I think we that around 6 months? Then I would just bring the bottles in a cooler bag, with an ice pack. It's not like you are going to warm whole milk when the time comes! Maybe give it a try. Otherwise..give room temp rtf bottles.

Re: Traveling Heating Up Bottle

If we were going anywhere where I didnt feel comfortable nursing, DS got a bottle of breastmilk. If I was able to warm it up ( like if we were at a restaurant), i would do it in a cup of warm-hot water. If that wasn't possible, he took it cold. He never had an issue taking it cold, I just warmed it when I could because I felt bad.

You can bring RTF on the plane. I would buy the single serve bottles of RTF - it's so much easier for the plane and then the bottles will be room temp.

This. I order the 2 oz bottles off of abbott nutrition store (simliac products) and when we are out and about I just use those, pour them in a bottle.
