You might be traveling more frequently with your little one these days. Whether you're at home or on the go, it's important to store and prepare bottle feeding safely. Below are some helpful tips for preparing and storing bottle feeding, both at home and on the go.
Preparing a Bottle at Home
It’s convenient to boil water in advance for making a bottle. You can boil a larger amount of water and store it in the refrigerator in a bottle or jug. This saves time and effort when you need to prepare a bottle quickly. After preparing the bottle feeding, you can store it for up to 1 hour. Leftovers that aren’t used should always be discarded, as it’s not safe to reheat them.
On the Go with Baby
When you're out and about, you can bring the boiled and cooled water along with the powder separately and prepare the feeding on-site. Another convenient option is to bring a thermos with hot water, so you always have warm water available. However, note that the feeding stored in a thermos is only safe for up to 1 hour. After 1 hour, the risk of spoilage increases.
For Longer Trips
For longer trips, the 400-gram pack of our Pure Goat Follow-up Milk 2 is a handy choice. It’s smaller than the standard 800-gram pack and easy to carry. Powdered infant formula can be carried both in your hand luggage (for example, in a powder dispenser) and in your checked baggage. Prepared infant formula can also be carried in a thermos, but remember that it’s only safe for 1 hour. After that hour, the risk of spoilage increases.
What to Do if You Need to Store the Feeding for Longer Than 1 Hour
If you’re traveling for an extended period and can’t take formula because it needs to be stored for more than 1 hour, it’s best to bring boiled and cooled water along with the powder separately. You can then prepare the feeding on-site and, if necessary, heat it up.
With these helpful tips, you can ensure that you always have the right feeding for your little one, both at home and on the go.
