We always hoped for a product like this Fisher-Price Warming Flask during baby's first year.
Trips to the mall were easy enough - go to nearest Starbucks and ask barrista for a venti cup of hot water to warm the baby bottle. But some place like the park and we were out of luck.
The Warming Flask is a simple stainless steel thermos that keeps boiled water hot. Just place baby's bottle into the plastic vial and pour the hot water around it and soak until the bottle is warmed. That's it.
Buy it here and elsewhere for about £12.00.
We also found this similar Babycare warming flask by Thermos. It's £13.00 (but note it's not suitable for despatch outside of mainland U.K.).
No more bringing a thermos of hot water and a separate cup. No more getting the evil eye from the barrista.
It seems only UK stores carry these items. Has anyone used one of these items or something similar?

This would have been helpful with my first child, as I always warmed his bottles. But I figured out something easier with my second--I just started giving her room temp bottles from day one (to the horror of my mother) and she was absolutely fine. It made going out much easier.

definitely – when our twins were in the nicu, the nurses tried room temp bottles, just to see if they would take them, and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

My little girl would never go for room temp; however, I found a wide mouth thermos at Target that the bottle would fit into. I filled it half way with hot water and then put the bottle in the thermos to warm when needed.
