Newborn Feeding on the Go: Tips, Essentials and Recommendations

Hellooo, I have a 4 week old and I normally do a breastfeed just before I leave the house. Then around 2hrs later when she wants her next feed I'll give formula to last her a bit longer then feed as normal when I get home. If you're pumping then try and pump while you're out (I use the Mommed s21 portable pumps) to keep my milk flowing and will offer this first then top up with formula (if I get an Oz or 2 I'll give her that and 1 Oz of formula).

It just depends on if you have the time to pump- if not then just formula is fine. I dont like breastfeeding in public but sometimes if I need to breastfeed then I'll go to one of those breastfeeding rooms or feed from the car.

I hope that helps!! Xx

If you BF a nursing cover always helps. This one has a little band around so it doesnt fall on little ones face. I found it helpful with my first when I was getting used to feeding while out and about. X

I use this little cooler bag for my breastmilk, have found it’s brilliant and keeps it cold for hours! I tend to take 2 pouches with me and works great, also enough room to add a pouch if I pump whilst out too. My little one will drink while it’s cold though so may be a problem if you need to warm it up x

If you’re breast feeding the easiest faff free method is breast feeding on the go. Absolutely no equipment needed. When I was combo feeding my eldest, I used to take pre made formula out. It works out more expensive than powder, but as I was combo feeding and not using for every feed it was fine, and meant I didn’t need to worry about making up a bottle out.

Second what Kerry said! I EBF my first but this one is combi fed and I still choose to breastfeed when out and about, it's so much easier and don't have to pack all the additional things needed for bottles/formula.
