There are probably many moms and dads who are worried about this.

So this time, we will introduce some tips for preparing milk when you go out and some convenient items for making milk.

Be sure to check it out to reduce the burden and hassle of going out and spend fun time with your baby.

What you need to prepare milk when you go out

When you go out, you will need the following:

・Milk (powder or cubes)

・Baby bottle

·hot water

・Cleaning products

Let's take a closer look at each one.

milk

You will need powdered milk to prepare the baby's milk.

If you are preparing formula on the go, cube or stick types are hygienic and easy to carry around.

In recent years, liquid milk in cans or cartons has also become available.

Once you attach the special nipple, you can start feeding straight away, so it's recommended when you want to quickly prepare formula.

Liquid milk is more expensive than other types of milk, but it can be very useful in some situations, so it's a good idea to stock up on some.

Recently, it seems that many households are stocking up on liquid milk for emergencies.

baby bottle

Baby bottles should be washed and sterilized after each use.

However, these tasks can be difficult when you're out and about, so you'll need to bring enough bottles with you to feed your baby each time.

However, if you have multiple baby bottles, your luggage will increase significantly.

In that case, we recommend bringing disposable baby bottles.

Disposable containers can be thrown away once preparation is finished, reducing the burden of carrying them around.

hot water

Hot water and cooled water are essential for making milk.

In some cases, nursing rooms are equipped with a kettle or water server, but not all are.

For this reason, we recommend boiling water at home in advance and carrying it in a thermos or other container with good thermal insulation properties.

If the heat retention effect wears off, ask for hot water at a restaurant or cafe.

Cleaning products

If you share bottles or will be away from home for an extended period of time, you may need to clean and sterilize the bottles.

By carrying a simple bottle brush and disinfectant wipes, you can clean and disinfect bottles anywhere.

In recent years, compact baby bottle cleaning sets have become available on the market, so it is recommended that you get one in advance.

How to prepare milk on the go

In order to smoothly prepare formula when you're out, it's important to understand the procedure and steps beforehand.

Milk preparation is generally done in the following way:

Step 1 : Prepare hot water at the right temperature

Step 2 : Add milk

Step 3 : Stir in the milk

Step 4 : Sterilize the bottles

If you have stick-type powdered milk on hand, you can prepare formula smoothly.

Another option is to bring along disposable baby bottles, as mentioned earlier, so please consider this depending on the situation.

[By location] Introducing ideas for making milk!

Preparing milk when you're out is different from preparing milk at home, so many people find this difficult.

From here on, we will introduce some ideas for producing milk depending on the location.

A quick trip out

If you are just going out to a nearby department store or the park, where you only need to breastfeed your baby once, you can keep your luggage compact by carrying a baby bottle filled with hot water and bringing stick or cube-type milk.

If you can purchase water to cool the water while you're out, you don't need a thermos to cool the water.

If you think the hot water in the bottle will cool down during the feeding process, one option is to put powdered milk in the bottle and bring a thermos with you containing hot water and water to cool it.

Inside a moving car

If you are traveling in a car with your baby, it is recommended that you prepare milk while your baby is sleeping.

By preparing milk when you think your baby is about to wake up, you can breastfeed him immediately and head to your destination smoothly.

If the milk feels too hot, you can cool it down by exposing it to air or placing it under a cooler.

Commercial Facilities

Many commercial facilities have nursing rooms available.

In most cases, there will be a hot water kettle or water server installed, so you won't need to bring hot water or water to cool it down.

All you need is a baby bottle and milk, so you can easily prepare formula.

However, not all commercial facilities have nursing rooms, and not all have facilities such as kettles and water servers, so it is recommended that you do some research in advance.
