I want to buy small cartons of milk

paul2louise

My little boy drinks lots of milk. With the warmer climate I would prefer to buy some small 300ml cartons of milk. I don't know if I can buy these. Does the milkman sell long life milk. I shop at Asda but the smallest size is 500ml.

Thanks

Asda sell 250ml bottles of fresh milk. They come in a disney Cars theme for boys and barbie for girls

Cost 3 for £1

However, why cant you keep bigger bottles fresh? Milk keeps in the fridge for at least a week

In our fridge I have 4 pints of full fat milk when he wants it but I want it for when we go out for the day. i can mess about with drinks coolers but just thought it would be easier to have a few cartons. i could keep them in my bag for when we need them like the baby milks, ready to use. we are going on holiday travelling by car next month. I have tried water but he only sips it and he won't touch juice.

Moo do small cartons of long life milk, but i think morrisons is the only place that stocks them. Most other supermarkets only do the flavoured moo milk

Morrisons also do the smaller size cartons. Great with a 'magic' flavoured straw for a treat

No offense OP, but I'm still not sure why you don't "decant" from a larger bottle to a smaller bottle. I do it all the time - loads of places sell smaller bottles of water/squash/juice, and once empty and washed out, will hold whatever you want to put in them, including milk! I have 6 small (empty) pop/water bottles in the cupboard, some with the sports type top (to avoid car spills!), all ready to be topped up, whenever required

Oh, and for reference, at Asda, the small 250ml bottles work out to 15.2p per litre if bought individually, whereas their 6 pint works out to 4.3p per litre. Quite a difference! HTH

Today I do decant, i have one made up in the fridge as we speak but when it is a hot day and we are out all day I don't feel happy giving my lo warm milk that has been out if the fridge.

I will have a look in Morrisons, thanks for that

Thermos flask. Ice packs. Powdered milk, or freezing would be your best options.

Just as an aside, i would try to encourage drinking more water, as milk is more a foodstuff than a hydrator. Also calcium affects iron absorption, so can lead to anaemia, but in kids having too much milk usually results in constipation

I have been trying water for a year now, and he doesn't like it. I would much rather know that he drinks a full cup of milk than a few sips of water. He was getting constipated recently cos he wasn't drinking so much.
