Pumping at work was a pain for me too!

I always save unused formula/breastmilk for the next feeding....sometimes even 2.

I would recommend keeping boiling water in a thermos (or maybe something like the Tommee Tippee Travel bottle warmer) and heating up the milk in a glass bottle.

Good luck!

we give our kids fresh bottles at room temp. then if it's not finished within an hour or so, we can fridge it and reheat. once it's been heated, it has to be tossed after the 1ish hour window.

for night, we keep prestaged bottles in the nursery. so we have bottles prepped with water and a formula dispenser - just dump, shake, feed. the fewer steps the better, in the dark with fussing baby. if your lo won't take it room temp, you could keep a thermos with warm water in the nursery.

Most formula has to be thrown out after 1 hour. The stuff is incredibly nutrient-rich, so bacteria grows like crazy in it.

Will your baby take room-temperature bottles? If so, you can just put bottles with the right amount of water in baby's room, and then add the right amount of pre-measured powdered formula in the night. We use a little munchkin formula dispenser to prepare individual portions of powdered formula. If baby won't do room temperature bottles, I suggest trying to transition him to room temperature. It was kind of a pain for us to wean DD from heated formula, but it was awesome once she started taking room temperature all the time.
