I just found that the easiest way to have fresh formula which is also at a temperature that Alex will drink right away. I've been stashing a small can of powder in my diaper bag and filling up a 16-20 oz bottle of water to bring along. I found that premixing formula wasn't working since I had to keep it cold in a thermos next to an ice pack. Alex won't drink cold formula. Yesterday, I was desperate to find a way to warm up the formula I had or somehow get new. I stopped in a convenience store, bought a can of powder and non-refrigerated bottled water. I mixed formula with that warmer water as needed. I wouldn't have to keep the water cold like I would with mixed formula. (Those 2 oz bottle 8 packs are a total rip-off.)
I had Alex in Manhattan yesterday and it was too hot for him to nurse. He hates the heat and won't stay still for it when hot. Sigh, just like his mom. Oh, and about the heat. I cool off his receiving blankets in my diaper bag by inserting a mylar ice pack in the same fold with them. He loves having a cool blanket to lie on.
