Any recommendations on a good flask for water for formula making out and about? I want it to last a good few hours!
Any advice on how to make up a feed and getting it to cool outside would be really helpful too.

Following as I want one too x

Get the bottles that store the formula separate from the water, you push the side and the formula falls into the water.

I just use my thermos for warm water (make it a little hotter than what you usually would make it!) and then I used a snack container with separate compartments for the bottles! Packed the empty bottles separately!

I’ve got a hot water flask from Amazon and then a rapid Nuby cool flask. My little boy has 6oz so I put 2oz of hot water in the sterilised bottle then add formula powder and stir then add 4oz of cool water from the Nuby cool flask and shake. It’s quick and easy to do 😊 if you want me to send you the link the the flasks let me know 😊

I got a normal flask from Amazon it tells me the temp, I can send a link if you want. I also then have the nuby rapid cool and to the same as

yes please send! What if you need to make up more than one bottle for a travel? Do you just take a bigger flask and cool the water in the Nuby again as many times as you need to make formula?

will do. The hot flask will be enough for around 4 feeds as you aren’t using a lot of hot water but but Nuby flask holds 2 feeds for me. They Nuby is quite expensive so if I was you I would just buy 2 normal flasks and put hot water in one and cold in the other and you can get 1 litre flasks which will do more feeds x

I use the nuby rapid cook and the flask that came with the set and it keeps it hot for hours I brought a flask of Amazon which tells you the temp but as soon as you open it it looses all its heat where as the nuby one is still steaming a good 8 hours later I use it through out the day when home aswell saves boiling the kettle all the time and waiting for it to cool

do you keep the boiled water in the nuby flask?

The tommee tippee flask is amazing! 😘 my sister and friend used theirs religiously when out for bottles and food pouches, they would pre-make a bottle and leave it to cool, using it when out by heating it in flask-
I have both tommee tippee and nuby rapid cool 😘
The Thermos flask is also good as my partner uses it for work- water stays hot for 12hrs+ 😘 x

The nuby rapid cool will be perfect for me to use during night feeds alongside my boiling flask 😘 bottle will be ready at perfect temp within a min or 2.
Only need to add water to nuby rc aswell, and leave a hotshot of water in baby bottle- this will aterilise and kill any bacteria within the formula powder- usually leave around 1oz/1 and half oz of hot shot to formula 😘 then top rest of baby bottle with the nuby cooled down water 😘 xn

We travelled in January to two destinations and I just prepared the bottles. So if my son was drinking 4oz of formula, I’d already put 2oz of cooled boiled water in the bottle and when he needed a feed I would add the thermos water. He wastes a lot of formula as I only give as top-ups but this way your thermos water will last a lot longer. Also took the formula dividers with us.

We used honey Holly flasks for both cool and hot. They're amazing x

yeah the one that came with the set where you got two rapid cooks and a grey flask x

@Sarah thanks! Do you have to wait 3 hours for the water to dry in the Nuby Rapid Cool before you next use it?

@casey Do you have to wait 3 hours for the water to dry in the Nuby Rapid Cool before you next use it?

I’ve got two as that’s what came with the set so I just rotate them
