I either bring my own hot water or ask for some at a restaurant. If I forget the thermos I will warm the bottle under a hot tap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507665 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 11:52:16 +0000 sera_87 507665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: btw, a movie theatre is the best place to nurse in public. Its dark and everyone is focused on the screen. ;)</p> <p>But yes, cup in hot water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507569 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 11:25:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 507569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually ask for a cup of hot water wherever I'm going. If there's no place for hot water (or a hot tap) then I warm it under my arm or between my legs. Haha! </p> <p>Sometimes I let it come to room temp but it tends to get chunky so I prefer to keep it cold until it's time to feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507513 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 11:10:38 +0000 MaisyMay 507513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take LO's milk bottles and put them in the diaper bag. When she's ready for them, they're usually warm enough. She'll take cold bottles too, so if they're chilly, it's not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507394 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:25:25 +0000 autumnlove 507394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: Yes, it is basically a thermos with a cap that you can heat bottles in. It is kinda big but very convenient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507375 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:14:51 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 507375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @littlecasita1122: @lisa1783: does the tommy warmer work with any brand and size bottles other than tommy teepee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507365 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:11:45 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 507365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>these are all great suggestions, thanks! i will look into this tommy teepee travel thing. hopefully i can get it at babies r us as i still have some gift certificates to use up.<br /> @Mrs. Bee: i also like the thermus idea! better than having to ask for a cup of warm water wherever i am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507320 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:51:39 +0000 Mrsbells 507320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: I carry a bottle warmer with me when i go out so I just look for an outlet and warm it up. I have the first years brand and it doesnt require hot water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507319 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:50:52 +0000 lisa1783 507319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was on a work trip in Portland this year, my DH and LO came with me and went sightseeing. To warm up the bottle, he used the Tommee Tippee travel bottle warmer. He just filled it up with hot hot water before he left the hotel and he would have hot water to submerge the bottle in to warm it up. It worked really well for him.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Travel-Bottle-Food-Warmer-Set/dp/B004I110D8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1358346687&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=tommee+tippee+bottle+warmer" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Travel-Bottle-Food-Warmer-Set/dp/B004I110D8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1358346687&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=tommee+tippee+bottle+warmer</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507282 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:33:11 +0000 Andrea 507282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as Mrs. Bee. I do this at home, too. I keep warm water in a thermos all day long so that I can warm bottles super quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507237 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:10:37 +0000 littlecasita1122 507237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Tommee Tippe Travel warmer - highly recommend it!

Since fresh breast milk can be out or a few hours I just bring the freshly pumped milk and give it to her when she's ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507195 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:18:33 +0000 Weagle 507195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to get a restaurant to give us some hot water. A bathroom sink works too, but kind of skeeves me out. LO will drink it cold too if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507193 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:15:25 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 507193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: i had thought of asking for a cup of hot water as i always saw my sister do that. but i am going to see a movie and he may need a feeding during. I guess i will check how the milk feels before i go in the movie and see if i need to warm it a bit beforehand.</p> <p>@bienlivingdesign: thanks, i hadn't thought of warming it under a tap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507189 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:11:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 507189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: We always just took it out of the fridge when we left and as we walked around it warmed up to room temp and she drank it that way. </p> <p>Where are you going? If you are going to the mall or a restaurant you can ask them to bring you a cup of really hot water (like for tea) and set the bottle in the glass of hot water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507188 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:10:58 +0000 Amelieisme 507188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always leave it cold and get a cup of hot water somewhere and put the bottle in to warm it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507185 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:09:41 +0000 bienlivingdesign 507185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait to take it out until you leave. It will warm up some at that point, then you can run the bottle under hot water (if you can find a restroom!) before feeding to take the temp up a little more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-servewarm-breastmilk-in-a-bottle-when-not-home#post-507184 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:06:51 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 507184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey bees!</p> <p>I am planning to take my LO out today and want to give him breastmilk in a bottle rather than breastfeed in public as i have finally been having some success with pumping and saving milk.</p> <p>I have a bottle in my fridge now and am wondering what is the best way to serve it? Should i warm it a bit before i go out and then serve it when needed? or let it go to room temperature on its own while i am out and serve it when ready?</p> <p>or there other ways to do this that i am not aware?</p> <p>thanks! </p>
