Nothing wrong with taking them, but they are big & heavy.  When my son was on bottles in the night, we used to put a flask of hot water up when we had a late night coffee & use that to heat the bottle as Debbie says .  Travel as light as you can.

The alternative might be to get your child used to cold milk which my health visitor friend assures me is the latest idea. Sterilise bottles as usual then fill with the right amount of boiling water and let it cool. When you need milk, add powder, shake it about and feed. No problems needing to heat anything and no risk of scalding milk in one part of the bottle when the rest feels cool. A friend of mine did it with both of hers and they were happy with room temp milk and it was quicker than heating it up.

Failing that a flask full of hot water at bed-time but I would recommend going down the cold milk route...
