Can anyone tell me where to buy some sort of insulated bottle sleeve or holder to use in a diaper bag whose bottle pockets aren't insulatee? Does that make sense? :) I just ordered a bumble bag and want some sort of insulation for our bottles.

I used insulated soda/beer sleeves that I found at Target which you put in the freezer and take out when needed. These sleeves were hard plastic and lined w/ the kind of ice pack material that you use in coolers to keep food cold. It stays COLD for hours. Note however, that I used Avent bottles which fit perfectly in the sleeve. Not sure how it would fit other bottle brands. Target does not have this on line. You'd have to check in the store (or Bed Bath and Beyond, or somewhere like that)

The other thing I've done is use flexible ice packs that you can line the bottle pocket with. Here is a url that shows what I'm talking about http://www.drugstore.com/qxp84527_333181_sespider/cryopak/flexible_ice_blanket.htm

Good luck

Do you remember which section of Target you found this in? Sometimes I feel that if I don't have a map of that store, then I'll never find anything!

It was in the home section, probably near area where you find coolers and picnic stuff

good luck

I found an example of the freezable bottle/can cooler on-line at

You stick it in the freezer and take it out when you need it and pop your bottle in
