Whether you're sending your little one to daycare, traveling with an infant or pumping at work, you need a baby bottle cooler that will keep milk or formula cold until it can make it to the fridge or mealtime safely.

Baby bottle cooler bags are a convenient way to keep bottles at the right temperature when you're on the go. Keep reading to learn more about choosing the best baby bottle cooler bag for you and your baby.

Baby Bottle Cooler Bags for Formula

When buying a baby bottle cooler bag, it's critical to determine how well it stays cold. Formula easily spoils, so it's especially important to feed or store it quickly.

According to the CDC, prepared formula needs to be brought to fridge temperature within 2 hours. If you're heading out with baby, be sure to chill premade bottles of formula in the fridge before packing them in a baby bottle cooler. Not just any insulated baby bottle cooler bag will do – it needs to keep bottles under 40 degrees.

Baby Bottle Cooler Bags for Milk

Breast milk is comparatively easier to transport and store without spoiling, which is great news for moms who pump. The CDC advises that pumped milk can be held at room temperature for up to four hours. When traveling, breastmilk can be safely stored in a cold baby bottle cooler bag for up to 24 hours. Again, 40 degrees is the safe temperature.

If you're buying a baby bottle cooler bag to take to work, finding a breast milk cooler that will hold bottles and milk storage bags is a good idea. You will probably also want some space for snacks. Nursing moms tend to be snacking moms because burning those extra calories can make you hungry. Choosing a baby bottle cooler bag with room for small food items will help you keep up your energy and your milk supply.

Other Considerations for Baby Bottle Cooler Bags

A cooler for baby bottles should be able to keep formula and milk under 40 degrees for several hours. Your best bet is a freezable baby bottle cooler bag that doesn't require purchasing separate ice packs. Beyond its functionality, choosing the best baby bottle cooler bag comes down to finding one that meets your needs.

Consider the size and capacity of the bag. You want to ensure it's large enough to hold all the bottles you need — but not so large that it's cumbersome. If you use a larger tote or carrier bag, like a diaper bag, you may want a baby cooler bag that will fit inside it.

Another factor to consider is the ease of use. Look for a baby bottle cooler bag with a simple-to-use design. A soft cooler that's easy to clean will make travel and maintenance less of a chore.
