Travelling with your baby for the first time is both exciting and nerve-wracking. Whether you’re heading away for a weekend or taking a family holiday, keeping feeding routines consistent and safe is one of the biggest challenges for new parents.
Ensuring your baby’s milk is at the correct temperature while on the go can be tricky. Too hot, and it could scald your baby’s mouth; too cold, and your little one may refuse to drink. Luckily, with a few simple tools and smart planning, you can feed your baby confidently anywhere, anytime.
When you’re on the move, it’s easy to lose access to the usual comforts of home like your bottle warmer or reliable kitchen thermometer. But your baby’s feeding safety doesn’t have to take a back seat.
Keeping milk at the right temperature (around body temperature, roughly 37°C) helps preserve nutrients and ensures your baby’s comfort and digestion.
Using a reliable baby bottle thermometer like the Safer Baby Thermometer takes the guesswork out of feeding. Its infrared technology accurately checks milk temperature without contact, ensuring every feed is safe even when you’re away from home.
When travelling, you won’t always have access to hot water or a bottle warmer. Here are some parent-approved options for warming bottles while travelling:
Use a thermos with warm water to gently warm milk bottles.
Keep a portable bottle warmer in your baby bag.
Always check milk temperature using an accurate thermometer to avoid overheating.
The Safer Baby Thermometer is compact, lightweight, and travel-friendly, making it perfect for road trips, flights, and on-the-go feeds.
If you’re flying, plan your feeds around take-off and landing to help with ear pressure. Prepare bottles before boarding and use a non-contact thermometer to quickly check the milk temperature before feeding.
For car travel, stop in safe rest areas to feed. Avoid feeding your baby while the car is in motion as it’s safer and calmer for both of you.
When preparing for your trip, here’s a quick checklist for safe and stress-free feeding:
✅ Pre-measured formula or expressed milk containers
✅ Bottles and spare teats
✅ A portable bottle thermometer
✅ Bottle cleaning tools
✅ A thermos or insulated bag for keeping milk at a safe temperature
The Safer Baby Thermometer is ideal for travel. Simply place the bottle on the device, and within seconds, it shows if the temperature is too hot, too cold, or just right.
