Heating up baby food

[tinkpower]

So our upcoming trip will be our babies first visit!! How/where can I warm up baby food. She is good about drinking room temperature bottles but I'm guessing at 9 months she is going to want her baby food jars warmed up. When having a sit down meal can/will they warm them? We've been to DL/WDW 7 times but never with an infant. This is going to be interesting LOL

The only thing the restaurants can do is bring you hot water to the table and you can warm jars/bottles in that. They cannot bring baby food back to the kitchen to warm up for health code reasons, AFAIK.

Honestly, I would rather work on getting your baby to eat room temp baby food...it would be the easiest workaround. The Baby Care Centers do, I believe, have microwaves that you can use to heat things - but generally they are not convenient to the restaurants.

I agree to just not ever introduce warmed baby food and she will not know the difference. I would travel with the smallest containers possible and just give her one or two different foods at a time to avoid waste. At 9 mo she may enjoy some things off your plate but I would not give her anything at WDW she has not already had at home just in case of an allergy.

I agree with PPs about just not heating it ever to begin with. Also, just feed her from your plate and then you don't have to carry around baby food!

I would suggest pouches of food, like the plum, happy tot or earths best brands. Our babe wasn't eating much in the way of solids, but he did enjoy purées, especially those. And they are much less inclined to break in your diaper bag!
Overall, he mainly either breastfeed, ate pouches, or ate from our table. No need to heat anything! FYI, the sweet potato dish at AKL has honey in it. DS survived but be careful of things like that.

I rarely heated up food for Z when she was that age. When I did, it was more for me than for her! I couldn't imagine eating "turkey and rice dinner" cold.

I rarely heated baby food, and my kids ate a lot of finger/table food.

I never warmed a bottle or baby food - made travelling much easier. By 10 months my dd was on straight table food - she ate everything we did just diced into tiny pieces. We went to wdw for her first birthday and all I took was disposible placemats and bibs and a sippy cup.

Thanks for all the feed back!

as pp have said I would not start heating baby food at all. also remember to bring small dish soap, brush and towel to do the washing of sippy cups or bottles and spoons. I would bring extras of each as it helps to have more than one at the parks each day.

the pouches are awesome!!! you don't have to worry about carrying around the glass jars. I packed these with us on our trip when our ds was 8 months. Made things so easy because they are served at room temperature

This is what we did when we took our DD at 9 mo. We never really heated her food at home either. I never fed her any of the protein baby foods anyway. They sort of grossed me out (I would puree what we were eating) Most of the actual baby food I gave her was fruits and veggies, which was fine for eating at room temp.

They do have microwaves in most resort food courts and at the baby care centers, but they will not heat anything for you at restaurants. They will bring you hot water.

It has been a while, but we used the Baby Centers all the time when our kids were younger. They are very convenient, and offer ways to warm babyfood.
