Q. Do you prepare it in advance and hopefully your child consumes it in one hour, keep it in a lunch box with an ice pack, or bring a bottle with water and bring the powder in a separate bag? I actually have a legit reason to bottle feed so no opinions please. If I could, I would take the easy route and go back to breastfeeding.


Answer
had a formula stacker container (kind of like this one but mine had more stacks http://www.ecochild.com.au/eco-products/eating-and-drinking/lunch-boxes-and-food-containers/ecosystem-formula-stacker) and carried the water in a thermos, and had a bottle warmer as well for in case it was too cold by the time it was needed, and took one bottle that was made up and kept in an insulated bottle carrier because usually one would be needed pretty quickly. For the formula stackers you just measure out how much you use to make up a bottle and take it with you and pour it in when you're making it. If the bottle warmer couldn't be used, I asked for a cup with some boiling/hot water in it and used that to heat up the bottle after it was made up.

What Should I Bring In My Lunchbox?

I'm going to 7th grade and I want to lose weight. The lunches at our school are so fatty. I can skip lunch and go outside and get some chips and a coke, but that isn't healthy either. I was thinking about bringing a Special K Protein Shake, but I realize that I might give in to the food because it looks good and I'm hungry for FOOD. So what should I bring in my lunchbox?


Answer
I found this on internet, I'm sure this will help.
"Top tips for a healthy lunch box
⢠Always include fresh fruit and vegetables. Vary the selection to keep it interesting.
⢠Offer a variety of whole grain breads, rolls, pita bread and flat breads.
⢠Use avocado as a spread instead of butter or margarine.
⢠Use reduced fat dairy foods. Cheese and yoghurt are ideal.
⢠Kids need a serve of protein at lunchtime. Ensure you include lean meat, egg, peanut butter, chickpeas or tuna.
⢠Add a chilled bottle of water and limit juice.

Keep it fresh - packing the lunchbox
Itâs important to keep food in the lunch box cold to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Pack the school lunch in an insulated lunch box and include a small freezer brick or freeze a bottle of water and pop it into the lunchbox to keep food cool.

Helpful tips for adding fresh fruit and vegetables to lunch boxes
⢠Kids like fresh fruit cut and ready to eat. Fruit salad is the ideal lunch box solution; itâs colorful, easy to eat and bursting with vitamins.
⢠Offer different seasonal fruits each day for a change in flavor, color and texture.
⢠Freeze fruits in the summer or for sport days. Simply pop the frozen fruit into a small seal-able plastic bag or airtight container.
⢠If including whole fruit in the lunchbox, select fruit that is a suitable size for a child to easily hold in their hand and eat (this is particularly important for younger children).
⢠Peel and slice or cut fruit if possible and choose seedless varieties of grapes, watermelon and Imperial mandarins.
⢠If youâre added tomato to sandwiches, place the tomato between fillings and not directly onto the bread. This prevents the bread becoming soggy.
⢠When using avocado, mash or drizzle with a little lemon or lime juice to prevent the avocado from discoloring.
⢠Mild tasting and crunchy lettuce varieties like Iceberg and Oak leaf and Lebanese cucumbers are ideal for kids.
⢠Add leftover (or cook extra) roast pumpkin or sweet potato to sandwiches, wraps and roll fillings. Naturally sweet and loaded with beneficial antioxidants, roast vegetables team well with a range of fillings.
⢠Make salads or salad sandwich fillings interesting by using a range of vegetables like grated carrot, snow pea sprouts, lettuce or rocket or baby spinach, sliced celery, tomatoes, avocado and cucumber.
⢠Use a vegetable peeler to slice cucumber into thin ribbons for sandwich fillings.
