What are the steps a father should take if he wants to bring his breastfed baby out without the mother?

Question

What to bring? What to prepare? How to store and heat up expressed breast milk when you're out?

Answer 1

It sounds like you already know what to bring, the expressed milk. You can warm the bottle for a few minutes under hot tap water. don't forget diapers, wipes, and a "burp towel", and a stroller.

Answer 2

The have a car bottle heater at babies r us...It hooks up to the cigarret lighter and will heat the bottle up. As far as what to bring I think the dad should have a small diaper bag that has the milk of course, bottles, burp clothes,ect. And as far as preparing I would try to start getting the baby off the breast asap and start trying the bottle. A father is actually the best way to take the baby off the breast. A lot of times if a baby is around the mother they will not take the bottle because the say the baby can actually smell the milk of the mother....so its best for daddy to try to hold the baby and feed the bottle (also it is suggested to hold the baby away from you while feeding put the baby so that there back is leaning against your stomach). Anyway good luck and Hope Ive helped some.

Answer 3

If the breastmilk is freshly pumped, you can actually leave it at room temperature for up to 10 hours. That way you don't need to worry about bringing bottle coolers and warmers. When my husband goes out with the baby for a few hours, I just pump some milk before they go, put it in a bottle, and that's it! Real simple since baby already drinks breast milk at room temp. anyway.
Other than that, just bring a diaper bag with a few diapers, some baby wipes and cream, and an extra onsie and blanket in case the little baby gets messy. :o)

Answer 4

there r bottle warmers u can buy, its the best thing 2 use 2 warm the milk up because it never gets 2 hot and it will heat it perfectly, make sure baby is gonna take the bottle first, and u dont really need anything but the bottle warmer, enough milk 2 fill baby and your arms. and just buy a bottle cooler 2 store the milk in because breast milk cant b warm 4 more than 2 hours so it must stay chilled until its ready 2 use.
good luck daddy

Answer 5

have mom pump her milk for the baby so you can feed it with a bottle. keep it cold, in a small insulated bag with a ice pack in it. you can't microwave breast milk, so if you go out you will have to find somewhere you can get hot water that you can sit the bottle in to warm it up. i've had a few restuarants that did that for me...ofcourse you also want to bring the diaper bag which should have diapers, wipes, changing pad, bottles, extra outfit, burp cloth/blanket....those are the necessities anyway. some parents also bring a couple little rattles or toys, pacifiers, hand sanitizer.....good luck dad.
oh just an fyi---i had a car bottle warmer and it sucked. it took seriously at least 30 minutes to warm up a bottle and mostly it would just make the bottle itself really hot.

Answer 6

Have her pump it with a breast pump. Keep the milk cold. If you go to a restaurant ask them for a large cup filled 1/2 full with very hot water. Put the bottle in the cup to warm the milk for about 5 minutes and then check it, make sures its luke warm. Take some diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, little toys, extra onesies.

Answer 7

Oh, Great!! You have a bottle of expressed Breast milk? Simple: just pack up your diaper bag. Got your diapers, wipes, passifier, blanket, your bottle. The bottle I would just take with me warm unless you are going to be out for more than 3 hours, but it should be fine. What a great father to take the baby out and give mom a break.!!! Good luck

Answer 8

Bring some of her milk she pumped out of her breasts with you.Some pumps have a bottle attached...you could either bring it in that or another bottle.Keep it cold until feeding time.You warm it up in a bowl of warm water or for a couple ofseconds in the zapper.NEVER give it to the baby without testing it first,it warms up quickly,to testit;put some on your inner wrist,it should be luke warm.Store it in the fridge,or in the diaper bag covered nxt to something cool or cold.

Answer 9

Bring bottles of breast milk. Depending on where you go, you can get hot water from coffee shops (when I worked at Starbucks I'd get these kinds of requests on a regular basis) or just use very hot water from the restroom sink. Just submerge the bottle in a cup of hot water and you're good to go.

Answer 10

it's better to buy warm heaters which will give proper temperature for long time.use it whenever u want to feed the breastfed baby out without mother.I think,it's good to follow because if you keep the bottle under sink which gives some warmness ,you don't know the temperature that gives.This is my opinion only.Try to find out better way to feed the baby when mom out.
