Reddit reviews Thermos - Nissan Stainless Steel Bottle with Folding Handle, 61oz (Silver/Black)

> I do not want to be that pretentious coffee guy from work.

Brew it at home, bring it in a thermos.

Instant 'lack of pretentiousness'

I had created a list for friends after we had our first kid:

>Bottles:
Breast Flow was what we started with since it was said to mimic the breast the
best and help avoid nipple confusion.

>We also tried Drop-ins to help reduce gas. It works but the problem is if the
baby unlatches then air gets in. So we didn't use it for long. Since it is
disposable you only have to wash the nipple.

>What we mainly use now are Dr Brown's wide nipple. It seems to work well enough
for preventing too much gas. We feed adn then burb and he's usually ok with gas.

>Also give him gripe water once a day and Mylcon 3-4 times.

>Bundle-me - for the car seat. This is great for keeping the kid warm and cozy in the car seat during the winter months. It was also handy since the seat was big
for him when he was a newborn and this added some cushion.

>Feeding pillow my wife liked the best was Brest friend, it was better than the Boppy since it warped around. My wife was starting to wrist pains from holding the baby up until she started using this.

>For swaddling we tried Swaddleme but he would fight his way out. Then we found one that you can place the hands in flap that tucks under him and he couldn't fight out of that one. Only trouble was that he would get too hot in it. I don't see it on Amazon though. We picked it up from a birth store in Denville.

>The sleeping sacks he also liked, similar to one below.

>This CD seems to work well for him. It's not magic but if he's tired it helps
him fall asleep faster.

>A flask of hot water is good to keep around if you guys are going to bottle feed. Maybe not as big as the one I got but it was more geared to travel, we have a smaller one for home use.

>This Sony Baby monitor was good since it has voice activated mode. It turns on when it hears crying.

>Don't buy diaper systems that seal. When you open it later you'll be hit hard.

>Better off letting wet diapers air out and place the other in the garage or outside. We usually place poopy diapers in a diaper bag. It's also handy for disposing them while on travel.

Keep in mind this is from 4 years ago.

Bring it in a Stanley Thermos: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Stainless-Bottle-Folding-Handle/dp/B000U8D0H2/ref=zg_tr_13880501_1

this is a 61 ounce coffee thermos rated best one on the market, for about $44.00. I have a very, very old one in my truck that continues to travel with me when I'm "visiting" cross country. It keeps coffee hot and keeps a lot of coffee... just be sure you preheat the interior before adding your coffee.

ohmygosh so I bought this Thermos when I was writing my masters and it fits a full 12 cup pot of coffee and keeps it piping hot for over 24 hours if full (decreases the more you open it and let air in). It comes with a 5 year guarantee and it's fabulous. My friends call it my "NORAD missile watcher Thermos" because of how giant it is, but it's super easy to carry with the carrying strap :)

That one had no reviews, but a similar model is very highly rated. If possible I'd get one from a vendor with a good return policy and check it out. I'm guessing it would be great based on the reviews I read for this one:

Good luck!

My girlfriend just bought one of these for my birthday. =)

I use THIS wide mouth thermos to incubate yogurt and it works perfectly. Check out the reviews of it on Amazon, such as

>With the Thermos Nissan container, I did NOT pre-heat the container with boiling water. What I DID do was fill to it the top with microwaved boiling water. I capped it, left it in an 80 degree environment, then waited. After 6 hours, I poured out approximately 16 ounces of hot water. The temperature might have dropped 10 degrees, still leaving the liquid far too hot to consider drinking. Great! After 6 more hours, I poured out another 16 ounces. The water scalded my lip as I tried to sip a few molecules. Hot dog! I have a REAL insulating container here, people! After waiting 6 more hours, I poured out another 16 ounces. The temperature was dropping, but I still had to blow on it before sipping. After 5 more hours, for a total of 23 hours, I poured out the remaining water. The water was now close to my normal drinking temperature, still too hot for most people. Bear in mind that I started out with boiling water, but still...
