Warming Breastmilk on the Go Question

I excusively breastfeed my son and I am getting ready to go on an 8 hour road trip and there isn't always somewhere to pull over to feed him, so I am planning on bringing some breastmilk and bottles along. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how I would heat the chilled breastmilk in the car. I have looked into the bottle warmers for in the car, but they have tons of bad reviews and have been known to take 30+ minutes to heat a bottle.

I need help! So, any advice on how to do this would definitely be appreciated!

put the defrosters on and the bottle right over that for a little bit

Buy those heating pack that you squish and it becomes hot for your hands.

Turn the heat on and put the milk up to it.
Some conveinent stores have hot water dispensers near the coffee. Or you could run it under the bathroom sink.

Ima keep an eye on your post...because I have a huge road trip coming up in june and the baby will be little.... same deal not many places to pull off to park....through west Virginia

they sell these bottle insulation type things at toys r us that you snap and they warm the bottle... kind of like those heat wraps for your period

This is what a brand looks like.

Its called Hot Hands.

I use a very small cooler with ice to keep them cold, then always stop at a coffee shop and ask for a cup with half hot water in and place the bottle in there. I dont know if you have a spot to stop to get hot water, but maybe even get one of those things that is run by a batter but has plugs in the side and bring a kettle and water to boil? hahaha

That is a great idea.
Note to self.

when mine was 3 mths we had to evacuate and i used a avent hand pump and just pumped when it was time to eat.

you know what now that you said that walmart sells them for 18.97 i just showed my mom yesterday cause i want one

also at walmart for 20 dollars you can get an adapter for the cigarette lighter that allows you to use a regular plug and then you can use a regular bottle warmer.

Are you driving? If someone else is available to drive, you could use your hand pump or plug your electric pump into the adapter and pump a bottle and then turn around and feed him a freshly-pumped bottle. I did that when we took road trips when our kids were nursing.
