Warming breastmilk on the go?

I'm exclusively pumping - just wondering how people are warming breastmilk when out and about for the day? I'm currently keeping milk in a cooler bag whilst out and taking a flask of boiling water and a mug to warm the bottle in. Just wondering if anyone has any other ideas/recommendations for portable bottle warmers to replace the flask and mug method?

Tbh I just give LO expressed breastmilk at room temperature. You can also get insulated bags, we use the tommee tippee ones which were about £12/13 from amazon

I’ve asked a coffee shop for hot water in a takeout cup before which worked fine

@Poppy I do that mostly, I'm more thinking of if were out and about for the day on a long walk and there's no shops/restaurants around

@Francesca my LO suffers badly with stomach gripes/colic and seems to be much worse when she has cold milk 😢

I have the inoby bottle warmer which we take everywhere I managed to get a second hand one on vinted for £20 works really well

@Lucy I didn't even think to look on vinted, just managed to get a inoby one for £15, thanks for the idea!

sorry to jump on, I was looking at this, how long does it take to warm a bottle?

At the moment with the temperature being how it is and being in the fridge about 15 mins

@Neeya we also have the inoby and found we have to set it to the highest (50degrees) and it takes 15-20 minutes, the pad things I use barely take 5 :)

It's worth looking vinted or fb market place, and just buying a new adapter :)

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
