Cooler Ice pack

 We make all of Ellie's formula for the whole day at one time in a pitcher.  So when we will be gone for more than 3 hours, we need to take additional formula with us.  We have tried several containers over the years and this is the system we have settled on.


We put formula in cheap plastic baby bottles with lids.
 



Then we use this icepack from Walmart (made to keep a six pack cold).  It fits the bottles perfectly and keeps them upright in the cooler bag.  You can find the icepack by the coolers in sporting goods and it costs $2.



The ice pack fits into a neoprene cooler bag perfectly and can easily hang on the wheelchair on a carabiner.



We only put 3 hours of formula in her feeding pump bag at a time.  So we fill each bottle up with 3 hours worth of formula.

(The products listed below are not the exact items I have except the lids...but they look similar)

Medela Bottle lids $6 for 6 here
Cheap Baby bottles $11 for 12 here
Neoprene lunch bag $12 here
Six pack ice pack $9.50 on Amazon here or $2 at Walmart.



How do you keep your formula cold.  Comment below
