Answer 1

you can get a thermal bag. Avent make them and they're in most supermarkets and places like mother care. They'll keep your babies food chilled if you put it in the bag just before you go out.

Likewise, they'll keep things hot too!! It's basically a thermos flask in the form of a small shoulder bag

Answer 2

With my son I just got it out the freezer about an hour before we left home and then by the time he was ready for it it would be defrosted and all i would have to do was warm it by standing it in a jug of hot water.  

Answer 3

depending on where i'm going and what he's having i either bring it with me completely frozen and ask wherever i'm having a meal, coffee, snack... to defrost it. most places are happy to help.

if he's having his lunch about an hour after we leave the house then i just heat the frozen food until it's piping hot and by the time it's time to eat, it's usually at just the right temperature.  

Answer 4

what about investing in a baby thermal flask cook the food first, and put it into the baby flask to keep it warm my daughter uses these all the time you can also get them as little dinner plates you fill up the bottom with hot watter.
