My baby is formula fed and whilst we’re out for the day we usually use ready made formula, but have noticed that our little boy is sick after it sometimes. I don’t know whether it’s because it’s thicker etc but he suffers from reflux anyway.
I bought 2 flasks to trial making them up whilst out but found the hot one was at 70 degrees at 11am, and then no longer safe temperature to sterise the powder. so I had only made one bottle up. I boiled the water at 6:50. And poured straight in.
Does anyone have any idea on how to either keep the water hot or any other ideas please?

How do you clean it before the next bottle is prepared?

Get a better flask. I got a thermos one from Argos, it's £10 I think and keeps water hot for ages
thank you! Does it have a temperature display? :) x

Have you tried almost pre-heating the bottle. So pouring some boiled water in, waiting a few mins to warm the flask, tip away and then putting in the hot water for the day

Unfortunately it doesn't, but after trying it out, I'm fairly confident it keeps it hot enough for all day - I was using it for night time and next day it is still hot and steamy. So I would say you're definitely good for 8 hours during the day

I use the same method as I have two flasks, one for hot water and one cold water and really helps me during day and night feeds. I usually boil water at around 11pm and it’s good till 9/10am in the morning and vice versa. Don’t have a temperature display but water is usually steaming hot and that’s how I know it’s hot enough.

We have a thermos flask which keeps our water boiling for around 8/9hrs and depending how long we’re out for will fill either our nuby rapid cool with cool boiled water or if out longer will fill another flask with cooled boiled water xx

Those that do it with two flasks (hot water and cool boiled water), how much water do you of each when putting in the bottle before adding the formula? Thank you in advance :) x
Thanks everyone!
I looked into the rapid cools but wasn’t sure whether to get one or not.
I think I’m going to get better flasks! For short days out would be great but ideally need one that stays hot for 8/9 hours x
