Feeding on the road: safe & simple
Expressed breastmilk
Expressed breastmilk will keep for 24 hours in a cooler if the temperature remains between 5 and 39° F. Keep ice packs in contact with milk containers at all times and limit opening the cooler.
Powdered formula
Before leaving home, fill a clean bottle with premeasured water. If your doctor recommends using sterilized water, boil the water and preparation utensils first. When it’s time to feed your baby, simply add powdered formula, shake, and feed.
Ready-to-feed formula
Just clean the can top, open, pour the appropriate amount of formula into a clean bottle—or attach a nipple to a nurser bottle—and you can begin feeding right away. Ready-to-feed formula is ideal for no-mess feedings on the go.
Be sure to follow all instructions on the formula can label.
