hi becky

chilled should be quite fast, what.. no need very warm. if frozen will take forever in a bottle so try using milk bags - thinner material so can the milk can melt faster in the warm water.

thanks for all suggestion.. normally wil put chilled milk in travel fridge cos my girl drinks every 4 hrs so not advisable to warm up 1st,,,

i also have a big mug to put the ebm but its takes time to warm as cold from thefridge so gal will drink very loud... wondering if there is a Hot version like a fridge so just put in the bag to warm it.... no need use hot water

My method very troublesome. Brought the warmer out. Go to nursing room with socket. I'll only visit shopping centres with nursing room with socket.

I carry my chilled BM in cooler bag. Always bring along my disposable plastic container and get hot water from nursery or from fast food/coffee joint. Takes only 4-5mins to warm up. Vivo City don't have equipped nursery. Must take hot water from other restaurants. Think they need to improve their nursery to attract more mother with infants.

My baby is drinking every 3-4hrly. So normally before going out, i'll warm up one bottle of ebm 1st with higher temperature than normal. Then keep in the thermal bottle bag and bring out. Normally such bag can help to maintain the temperature for few hrs, so by the time when my ger wanna drink her milk, the temperature just nice for her.

i bought a bottle warmer with car adapter to warm up EBM. or get hot water from fast food places to warm up the EBM. meanwhile, will bring the cooler bag with 4 cold gel packs to keep the EBM cool.

is it advisable to actually warm up the EBM at home then pour it into a hot water flask? Then when bb needs to drink, we pour it into the milk bottle? Will this compromise on the quality of the milk?

Hi mommy, if you dun mind pay for the price, there is a warmer on the go. Can find at mum and babes. Is about $20plus (sorry cant remember). But for myself, I bring out my hot water and warm it when my boy wants to drink. The breast milk are kept in my cooler bag.

like precious I put frozen EBM in cooler bag with ice pack. nowadays the nurseries all have hot water so easy to warm up. if not, I'll ask the restaurants or cafes for hot water. They are usually happy to help :-)
