insulated lunch bag baby image
AuroraBore
My daughter is 6 months old and I just weaned her (from breastfeeding) and I have started to give her formula.
Let me make this clear. I am not warming the formula. Just the water...for like 20 seconds. she won't drink it otherwise.
But if I am out shopping or at an appointment, how can I warm up the bottle?
Answer
Once the bottle is warm it's good for 2 hours, as long as the baby hasn't drunk any then it's good for an hour. If you know you are going to be out long, carry the bottle(s) in an insulated carrier with ice packs and ask for hot water to warm it up.. It only takes a few minutes. By the way this is what I do.
I use my lunch bag as it holds 3 4oz bottles, works great. Keeps them cold for hours. I always carry what I need plus 1 extra bottle, just incase.

Easy healthy snacks to make in college?

I need some healthy snack suggestions for when I'm off in college
Answer
I remember the curse of the Freshman 15! Back then, we only had some vending machines and a toaster over to heat things with! And the dorm cafeteria's idea of healthy was to serve pizza with spaghetti, creamed corn, and ham! So, if I had a do-over, here's what I'd check out:
1. Mini fridge in the dorm room
2. Microwave
3. Insulated lunch bag or tote for hot and cold items
4. Thermos
And, I'd create a "pantry" of items I could chow down on that would enhance the brain cells and not the waistline! These would include:
1. Almonds: the raw, unsalted ones are best, but I prefer the roasted and lightly salted ones myself
2. Protein: protein is a great brain regenerator! String cheese, lean roasted turkey, uncured ham and cheese rollups, trail mix (without all the sugar)
3. Fruit: fresh is best, but a nice treat is to mix your almonds with craisins or raisins. Dried fruit is good, but has alot of sugar. Stick with organic if you can. Apples and string cheese are a good combo when you're hungry!
4. Cereal: High fiber cereal bars, or cereal that you can eat by the handful, stick with high protein cereals and high fiber cereals.
5. Dairy: greek yogurt is terrific and low in fat while high in protein. Watch out for all the sugary ones that are out there. String cheese, cottage cheese, watch out for the canned cheeses or processed cheeses.
6. Chocolate: dark chocolate is best, look for dark chocolate with at least 65% cocoa. A little goes a long way, but some real yummy treats include dark chocolate covered ginger, acai, peanuts, raisins.
7. Water: pure, filtered is best and you need at least 8 glasses a day. Watch out for the sparkling waters that contain hidden ingredients.
8. Veges: fresh baby carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, edamame, all count and can be easily dipped in a variety of sauces, including my favorite, spicy Ranch. Peanut butter is a natural!
9. Gotta have it: look for brown rice krispy treats, good chocolate, such as Green's or Lindt, sugar free or stevia made puddings, you get the idea.
10: Soup: watch out for the cream based ones, but sometimes a good bowl of clam chowder or tomato soup just hits the spot!
11. Bread/crackers: I go for gluten free myself, and enjoy rice crackers with a variety of cheeses and peanut butter.
12. Oatmeal: Not the sugary packaged kind. You can find unprocessed oats that are organic in the natural foods section.
Check out Trader Joe's, they have lower prices and a great variety.
Good luck and have fun!
