question
What does everyone when they are going out for the day as far as preparing bottles.
If you use formula already made do you make the bottle, put it in a cooler and warm it up when ready to feed?
If using power, do you put the powder in bottles and add water when ready to feed?

Re: question
I always used room temp bottles. I would prefill my Dr Browns wth water and bring mixing caps with me. I had a formula container(best invention ever) and would mix while I was out and needed it. It was super convienent.

I do the same exact thing. The formula containers are the best. I just measure the amount out and go.

Re: question
We bring the 3 slot formula holder thingy. LOL. I don't know what it is "officially" called. If it's a long day I will bring 2 of them. 1 bottle. and bottled water.

Re: question
For a one-day outing, we use an insulated lunch bag (we have several different types), with one or more icepacks, and bottles based on how long we'll be out. We use RTF formula, and fill the bottles before we leave. When DC needs a bottle, we just pull one out, and we're good to go. They don't care that it's a little chilly.

Same here. I try to keep the formula thing filled and in the bag this way I just throw a bottle with water in the diaper bag.

Re: question
when my kids were on formula,at first Id make the bottles and put in a bag w/an ice pack-

Me too...but when using premade formula, I used a cooler bag with ice packs and "warmed" the bottle in a cup with boiling water for a minute or two

This is what I did - except since my babies were use to warm bottles I would bring hot water with me in an insulated bag.
