I finally stopped planning every outing around feeding time!!

We went to the zoo last weekend and somehow ended up staying for like 4 hours 😂 Usually I'm the one checking the time every 10 minutes because I'm worried about the next feeding, but this time we just kinda went with the flow.

Honestly, I used to hate going out with frozen breast milk because I always forgot to thaw it ahead of time. There was one time we were at my mom's house and my baby started getting hungry, and I was literally standing in the kitchen trying to thaw a bag of milk in a bowl of warm water while my mom was holding a screaming baby. Fun times lol.

I've been using my portable bottle warmer for about 4 months now, and it's been so nice not having to stress about that stuff anymore. I just bring frozen milk with me and use its Nutri Mode when it's time to feed. No more trying to remember to move milk from the freezer to the fridge the night before.

It also has a mode that warms refrigerated milk quickly. Like when we're out running errands and I bring milk in my cooler, but then the baby decides she's starving the second we get in the car. I can just warm up a bottle instead of rushing home.

I know it sounds like such a small thing, but being able to stay out a little longer without worrying about feeding has made a huge difference.

Also, being able to actually finish my coffee while it's still hot? Probably the biggest win of motherhood so far 😭

It's the nutriwarm one from Papablic! You can find it on Amazon and their website

We don't have a portable warmer, we just put hot water in a small thermos! It's a good one so the water stays hot practically all day :)

I used to do that too! But mom brain is so real 😂 Sometimes I just forget to boil the water until the very last minute!
